Ride The Rockies by Heather Soistmann
Ride the Rockies is a tour around our beautiful state. Each year it takes a different route. This year we started in Grand Junction, rode the Colorado National Monument Sunday (elevation gain 2,500ft 45 miles, with hail snow and rain for added fun). Monday Grand Junction to Delta via the Grand Mesa (elevation gain over 6,500ft all in one uphill over 32 miles…there was not even a slight rolling downhill days total mileage was 94 miles and also included hail, snow and rain.) Tuesday Delta to Ouray, up hill for 67 miles (a wee bit of down hill, then elevation gain 3,500ft.) Ouray to Durango via three mountain pass on the Million Dollar Highway, 6,500ft aprox. in 75 miles.) Durango to Pagosa Springs about 3,200ft elevation gain, 87 miles total. Pagosa Springs to Alamosa (4,000ft gain, 92 miles…but a supreme tail wind!) Alamosa to Salida (gain of 1,600ft total of 84 miles.) Grand total elevation climb of close to 27,000ft…not too far off from Mt. Everest!
It was a blast! However it was tough. This was the hardest Ride the Rockies in it's 25 years. Got up at 5:00am , on the bikes by 6:30ish, rode between 5-8 hours each day, total ride time. We usually arrived in town between 4-5:00pm. I had to attend the Medic meetings and review the days injures, then shower, dinner and bed. Each town hosts a community dinner, has a beer garden and a local band. It is a very fun evening, you get to meet all sorts of folks and chat about the headwind, the hills, the scenery and bikes. The oldest rider was 83 years old, the youngest, 9 years old on a tandem with his dad. There where 16 countries and 48 states represented (neither North nor South Dakota made it.) The total ride was advertised to be 532 miles was actually 547.5 miles, which when most of those miles are up and above 7,000ft, makes a difference!
Congratulations Heather.
What else have our Verve members done this summer?
