Colorado weather. Let’s talk about it. It’s unpredictable, nasty, cruel; one minute you’re thinking this is going to be some of the best weather you’ve experienced: blue skies, perfect temperature like Little Red Riding Hood’s porridge. Then all of a sudden, like the wolf, it’s creeping up behind you and you’re feeding porridge to a…

Well Ride the Rockies 2014 has come to an end. I’m sad that it’s over, but I’m so happy I did it. It was an incredible challenge and I will always have the crazy memories from this amazing adventure. Six days, 471 miles and over 33,000 feet of elevation gain. I feel like I’ve accomplished something…

Day two started out a little frozen, literally. I awoke to a frozen tent and a frozen bike. It was cold, really cold and I didn’t want to get out of my sleeping bag. I knew I had to get a jump on the day though. It was going to be a long one, over…
I woke up at 4am to get a jump on the day, I knew it was going to be a big one. I was both exhilarated and nervous. I could fell the blood rushing though my body in anticipation. Not only did I know this was going to be a hard day, probably the hardest…
It’s the eve of Ride the Rockies 2014, my bags are packed and I think I’m ready to hit the road! With only 471 miles over six days in front of me I’m really not sure what lies ahead. This has been a long and exciting journey, part of myself is terrified and the other part…
