Latest Calendared Event Ever!
0
starters and
0
finishers rode the Lyons-Berthoud 104k Populaire. We had already rescheduled for Sunday the 29th,
to give the roads time to clear up after a snow, but it was not to be.
Paul cancelled the ride at the start after evaluating road conditions.
Thanks to Paul Foley for leading, and for his good judgment in cancelling the ride!
Also, kudos to Mike Turek for showing up.

First Winter Solstice Populaire Ever!
10
starters and
10
finishers rode the Apple Cider Sally 108k. Overcast skies in the 30's gave way to balmy sun in the 50's
for this welcome to winter. Apple Valley Road was navigable as long as you took a nimble line
past the ice floes from earlier snows. Riders made a couple of nice stops, including at the Old Mine cidery in Erie.
Oh, and this ride put Paul Foley over 10,000 km in RUSA rides in a calendar year for his second,
consecutive K-Hound award. Congrats, Paul!
Thanks to Mike Turek for leading, and for bringing both apples and cider to the
ride start, plus adorning the event with special extra rules!

Largest Roggen Roundabout Turnout Ever!
19
starters and
18
finishers rode the Roggen Roundabout 200k. Paul Foley reports:
"We had great weather, with a chilly start to remind us this was a December brevet. Seventeen hearty souls started together, and we slowly broke into smaller groups. Despite the storms of the proceeding week, the roads themselves were in great shape, and the snow was confined to the sidewalks and surrounding fields. A light tailwind carried us to Roggen, after which we had a mere nuisance headwind on the way back as the day
gradually warmed to a very enjoyable riding temperature."
Thanks to Paul for leading!

Mildest Platteville Poke-Along Yet?
11
starters and

finishers rode the Platteville Poke-Along 200k. Our event leader Paul Foley writes:
"After the blizzards of the preceding days, we were treated to relatively balmy weather, beautiful sunshine, and dry roads.
The daylight saving change blessed us with a warmer start and breath taking sunset.
Fortunately the gales of November took a day off, thus yielding an ideal start to the winter riding season."
Thanks to Paul Foley for leading with his usual aplomb!

Most Colorful VGV Yet?
7
starters and
7
finishers rode the VGV 200k. Paul Foley writes:
"We had seven riders who started, and finished, the Vail-Glenwood Springs-Vail brevet
in sub-freezing temperatures in the beautiful town of Vail.
As we descended the valley west bound, the temperatures slowly increased and the remainder of the day was very comfortable. We had a blue-bird sky, with wonderful fall colors contrasting with the ever changing colors of the surrounding rocks and trees that one rider (John) kept confusing with his favorite NFL team. Entering Glenwood Canyon an aura of awe seemed to overwhelm the group, with the towering rock walls gently guiding us along the wonderful bike path. We could not help but marvel at the magnificent views of the river, canyon, fall leaves, and clear skies.
"Turning around from our lunch stop in Glenwood Springs, we had a nice tailwind to gently
encourage us back to Vail.
John Mangin won the award for the most golf balls collected along the brevet course.
All in all, a wonderful day on a fantastic route through gorgeous scenery with good friends!
We were all very grateful that Catherine had designed and shared this enticing course with us."
Thanks to Paul for leading this splendid autumnal 200k!

Most Social Dart Ever!
10
starters and
10
finishers on two teams rode the Colorado Front Range Dart. Both teams' routes were similar to last year,
but with a twist. While the teams never rode together, toward the 22-hour mark, both routes converged on
a domicile in Longmont, Maison Turek, with hot dogs and beverages and stories to share.
They also managed to encounter each other a ¼ mile from the finish on the shadowy porch of the Starbucks.
This only whet their appetite for more conversation and conviviality at Murphy's at the Louisville finish.
Team DarTrek's members were assigned roles, by tradition, from Star Trek - Next Generation.
Team Wild Cat Ptarmigans reflects their flèche team name (Ptarmigan) plus their dart team name
last year (Wild Cats). The resulting creature's characteristics were discussed during the ride.
Thanks to captains Mike Turek and Vernon Smith for organizing splendid teams!

Stove Prairie
12
starters and

finishers rode the Stove Prairie 200k.
Among the riders were six who'd returned from Paris-Brest-Paris a couple weeks before,
and had shown up in their ACP PBP'19 jerseys (except for Mike, who wore PBP'15's).
A mild start turned into a summery ride, with many riders underestimating the need
for hydration and salinization, whether in the form of Cheetos, potato chips, or
other salty snacks.

Biggest Coffee Cup Turnout Ever!
7
starters and
4
finishers rode the Coffee Cup Classic.
The Peak-to-Peak 300k route was originally slated for this brevet,
but post-flood roadwork in Coal Creek Canyon closed that stretch to cyclists.
It was a bright, sunny rain-free day to enjoy! This route has over 17,700 ft. of
climbing, according to RideWithGPS,
so as Paul pointed out, more of an "SR 300" brevet experience.
Since this route was originally designed, paths have been added between
Genessee and Evergreen on I-70, and at Bakerville. And Hwy. 93 now has a full shoulder.
So the route was modified accordingly.
Thanks to Paul Foley for suggesting this route and for leading!
Thanks also to Catherine Shenk for designing the route, and updating it
to reflect road changes!

Biggest Indy 200 Turnout Yet!
11
starters and
9
finishers rode this summer's Indy 200 ride. Brevet leader and route designer Mike Moerk reports:
"A strong group of riders helped us make short work of the approach to Twin Lakes.
Great scenery and great weather made the first climb enjoyable, and the descent into Aspen was
exhilarating as always. After a short stop at City Market, we headed back up.
The sound of the Roaring Fork River was ever-present for our 2nd ascent,
as the abundant snow-melt came tumbling down, and we witnessed stunning evidence of the
many avalanches that slid this winter.
The heat of the climb was broken up by some welcome sprinkles,
and the group finished the climb without any thunderstorms chasing us.
Another great ride of the Indy 200!"
As you can see from Twin Peaks and Independence Pass photos, lots more snow
than you'd expect to see in July! (This after our big snow season.)
Many thanks to you, Mike!

Coldest, Wettest Solstice Brevets Ever!
3
starters and
1
finisher rode our solstice brevet offerings. Traditionally our "early bird" longer brevets in May
and early June have been cool if not downright frigid, making way for scorching brevets mere weeks later
at the solstice.
Not so this year! Despite some concern about snowfall and snow accumulation (!) on the Peak-to-Peak Highway,
in the end there was only fog, showers, snow flurries, and chilly temps at altitude, and then an even chillier descent.
Effervescent ride leader Billy Edwards greeted his rando colleagues
on a rainy, chilling, 4:00 am start. Our visitor Eileen Lloyd from the Bay Area, though extremely well prepared,
succumbed to a lack of time on the second day of her 600k. It was a pleasure to meet Eileen
and share restorative coffee with her that next morning.
Mateo was riding the 1000k for other reasons, and in the end did fine, though he said that
the blustery weather meant that he only found his rhythm again on the afternoon of the second day.
(Weather the third day was brilliant, as it was for last year's 1000k day 3.)
Given the conditions, good thing most of our PBP aspirants were able to go for
our "early bird" brevets. Many thanks to Billy for leading!

After Vernon Smith said he couldn't lead his Cripple Creek 300k because of travel,

as a pleasant route that would still be good conditioning.
Our riders met an unsuspected surprise as a movie was being shown in the Louisville-perm-ride parking lot
complete with food trucks. A festive end for tired randos!
Big thanks to Paul Foley for leading, riding, and enjoying!

First Ever North Park - Laramie - Cheyenne 600k!
10
starters and
10
finishers rode the North Park - Loveland Pass 600k. Event organizer and ride leader Corinne Warren reports:
"All ten riders who started were able to finish this new and adventuresome brevet up into Wyoming, designed by John
Mangin. John took riders up the most direct route to Poudre Canyon to save their legs for the long, gradual 58 mile climb
to the top of Cameron Pass, where there is still a considerable amount of snow. After a lunch stop in Walden, riders left
in roughly two groups of five to head north into Wyoming, where they were greeted with rocks and rollers and an
awesome descent into Woods Landing. From that point, the famous Wyoming wind picked up and it was a bit of a battle
into Laramie. Then a short leg on the interstate made everyone appreciate the scenic Happy Jack Road, a long and
gradual descent into Cheyenne. The smart riders got a hotel room in Cheyenne for a couple hours of sleep.
The brave
(and foolish) proceeded to cross back into Colorado and were rewarded with a pelting hailstorm in the middle of the
night. The riders trickled into Louisville in ones and twos over the course of the next day. It wasn't easy, but everyone
agreed it was a nice change of pace and somewhat of an adventure to do the whole 600k in one big loop."
Thanks to Corinne for organizing, and John Mangin for designing the route!

Chilliest Dry Black Forest Ever?
27
starters and
25
finishers rode the Black Forest 300k. It was chilly but dry, a switch from hot and windy, or cold and
drenching, or colder and snowpacked as in years past. A great turnout, thank you, fellow riders!
We are back to our classic Ken Caryl outbound + Black Forest on the way back route.
But not quite classic in an important way,
because the Chatfield Reallocation Project
means we again couldn't transit beautiful Chatfield Reservoir for that home stretch.
Special thanks to Foon Feldman for leading this BF 300k!

Most Perfect Flèche Weather yet!
18
starters and
17
finishers spread across four teams completed a highly successful Colorado Front Range Flèche.
Weather was ideal - mild and sunny during the day - although a bit chilly at night. Routes spanned
as far north as the Rawhide Plant near Wyoming and as far south as Colorado Springs.
7 team members were flèche rookies.
And we welcomed one visitor, Doug McLerran, from Aurora, IL.
Thanks to our team captains for organizing, designing their route, and leading their teams,
and to team members for having as much fun as possible!

34

finishers rode the Stove Prairie 200k under comfy, mild conditions, temps ranging from the 50's

And a great turnout, too. Thanks to Paul and Foon for pre-riding and scouting out
construction and the sandy descent from Stove Prairie.

eastern part of the route, and those forecasts turned out to be correct: 40 miles of chilly rain
and gritty roads greeted randos, buoyed up hopefully by enjoying a tasty burrito in Kersey.

as snow moved in on the originally calendared date. By the time the events

Wind was the salient feature of this ride, as is often the case on our Rawhide
excursions, but the sturdy randos persisted and finished in good form.
