Ride the Rock


It’s that time of year again, time for the annual migration out to the mountains for one of the best bicycle rides in the west. Every year several thousand cyclists flock to Castle Rock, Colorado for an amazing bicycle ride at the base of the majestic Rocky Mountains. This is a ride for every level of cyclists with various length courses (8, 22, 32, 50, 65, or 100 miles) for every ability.

Details
When: June 1, 2008

Where: Castle Rock, Colorado

Transportation: At this time, it appears that we’ll be renting a vehicle and driving out to CO. Obviously the sizes of the vehicle will depend on the amount of folks who want to go.

Lodging: My buddy Dean and his totally awesome wife Melissa have graciously offered to help put some folks up for the two nights to do the ride (one before and one after). However, space is limited in their cool split-level home in Broomfield. They can host about three people (four including me ha).

If there are more than three people that are interested in making the trip, then we’ll need to make other arrangements. There are lots of options, hotels or camping at the E-Rock campgrounds (Douglas County Fairgrounds).

Costs: Nothing for certain yet. Registration for the ride is $55. The rest will depend on the group size.
