Greetings Century and Metric Century Riders in Colorado!
 

Blue River Century and NEW Metric Century- Saturday, June 20, 2009 – Summit County, CO – www.bluerivercentury.com
A scenic century and NEW metric Century up in Summit County, CO called the Blue River Century, benefiting the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
The Montezuma Metric is 62.1 miles with an elevation gain of 3350 feet.
For the Century, at the final aid station, choose between 3 different finish options, which are as follows:
1. Montezuma Finish (Intermediate) with approximately 99.42 miles and 5950 feet of elevation gain
2. A Basin Finish (Intermediate) with approximately 98.62 miles and 6470 feet of elevation gain
3. Loveland Pass Finish (Advanced) with approximately 105.62 miles and 7680 feet of elevation gain

What is the route for the Metric Century? Do you go north on Highway 9, turn around at Ute Pass, return on Highway 9 to Dillon, and go around Dillon Reservoir in a counterclockwise direction? Are there shoulders on Swan Mountain Road or do you use the bike path there?

Hey Chris,

My apologies for the delay, but yes you go out Hwy 9 to Ute Pass (up Ute Pass) and turnarond at the Summit, head back into River Run area, then up to Montezuma, back into River Run. The maps is on the website. The gain is *3350 over *62 miles. *approximate.

No shoulder on Swan Mountain Rd and we do use the road and not the bike path. If you have any more questions, best to contact me via website/email. marie@bluerivercentury.com.

Hope to see you out there!
