After 43 days of snow on the ground (or whatever the count is now) I’ve contracted a serious case of spring fever. My fever hit me while catching up on my reading of the Sunday Denver Post.
You see yesterday was the announcement of the Ride the Rockies Tour. This fun bicycle tour is something to look forward too every year. For some reason, this year’s tour is more appealing to me. Going from Frisco to Frisco over 422 miles in the course of a week, the tour will climb only 4 peaks. One of them is Independence pass at an altitude of 12,095 feet. Out of the 4 passes, its the only one I’ve never climbed…on a a bike that is.
Did I mention the tour is run on a "lottery" basis? Yes, due to its extreme popularity and limited space, the Post takes deposits for the tour and the winners will be notified of their success by email on March 16, 2007.
Yes, spring fever is with me. The Tour is tempting me, but the roads aren’t ready to ride on. We’ll be lucky if we can ride on them by March. Bikes & ice aren’t nice.
It’s downstairs to the stationary bike for me. Hoohumm…boring!
<The Ride the Rockies Tour is open to anyone…even those who are so lucky as to live in Colorado. Enjoy the photo gallery and if you decide to move here…call me! I sell Denver!>

This does sound spectacular and of course I am in awe that you can ride a bike on mountain roads. I used to cross country ski but biking is serious work. It sounds beautiful and I hope the lottery works in your favor!
Wow that sounds wonderful, not that I would do that… Hope the stationary bike wasn’t too boring for you! Have a great day!
