I didn't see you there in 2002 when I rode. What color was your bike?

Just kidding, of course.

The BTC was great fun. Well supported and a bunch of friendly, crazy fellow bikers of all sorts. From the hammers to a couple of kids on BMX bikes. However, I could have done with a bit better food on some of the lunch stops. Breakfast and dinner was generally pretty decent, but the lunches should have been better. All else was well done.

I second the above as an inexpensive ride in wonderful county. And as much of a grind as going up the passes (Skumguillion, Wolf Creek, Coal Bank Hill and Red Mtn) was (for me), flying down the other side for 20 miles at speeds up to 50 mph simply cannot be beat. Especially if you have a wonderfully stable ride like my Paramount (when it had the Record group). Great fun!!
