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.

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'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 !
