Ride the Rockies roll call
 

The Ride the Rockies tour is in less than three weeks and based on their website it sounds like folks are coming from all over the country. So I was just curious to see if any BF members are doing it and where they're coming from.

I'm in-- there are four of us coming from the DC area--

three from Ohio, here.

while i won't be doing that one I will be on the Up and Back Tour in early July through Blacktop Bicycling Tours. I may have to look into this one for next year.

i love it, all these rides i want to do.

as a bump and to respond...

my understanding is that RTR intentionally skews toward the out-of-state-er. probably just rumor and speculation. anyway, independence pass will be awesome. These guys being there as the end of the day is a MAJOR perk too:

I hear ya. New Belgium is tasty. Independence pass sounds like it'll be fun. The Steamboat area should be nice too - it's beautiful up there.

Great. I'm originally from the DC area (Beltsville and Mt Airy, MD). It should be fun - just hope the weather's nice - it's been a cool and wet spring for us so far.

3 from GA and 1 from FLA

i wish i had the time and money, there isn't a single hill around here that takes more then 8 minutes to climb :(

True, but we don't have ocean views like in Nova Scotia. That's a place I'd love to bike as well.

hey Colorider-- I'll look for you-- I'll be the crazy one--with the yellow fixie. if you see me, say hello-

train safe-

Two here from NC and one from Denver!!!!!

Will do Buelito. I'll be riding the cream and blue Novara

1.5 weeks to go. Just figured I'd bump the thread back.

And I just crashed. :mad: Still going, just probably a little slower and more painful than initially planned. Look for a matte carbon/celeste Bianchi, moving slowing on your right...

Ouch, sorry to hear that.

Argh if I only found out about this ride sooner! I like the product demo part of it. I will be keeping it in mind for next year. anyone doing the Up and Back tour?

I'm riding again this year. Great fun on last year's ride. Bike is almost completed. Black Fetish with chrome flames on the top tube.

Triple/10spd..... bring on Independence Pass !

Just got the Helmet cam mounted onto the Headset Tube. Looking to get some 70mph video on the descent down Rabbit Ears Pass into Steamboat Springs. YouTube here we come!

See ya there !
