Most Colorful Apple Cider Sally Audax Ever?
7
starters and
7
finishers rode the Apple Cider Sally Audax 100k brevet. Paul reports:
"The Apple Cider Sally, once again, provided a thrilling autumn ride for seven participants who enjoyed a gorgeous blue sky,
warm temperatures and stunning fall colors. We got to see Halloween revelers at a Niwot community gathering, and
preparations for parades in Lyons and Erie. The Audax formula allowed us to share the entire ride together, and
enjoy a relaxed pace with prolonged stops in Lyons, Niwot, and Erie. Ice cream in Erie was a new find after the our lunch at The Old Mine,
and we all decided this was the start of a new tradition."

Windiest Dart Populaire Ever!
A fierce NE wind followed Team Darttrek from Fort Collins as a cold front blew through.
The wind was only partially our friend, with its dust and blowing leaves and dust,
and especially trying on the east-west segments.
But the cheerful stops at John Mangin's house, Mike and Grace Turek's house, and elsewhere made for good spirits for the entire team.
Mike reports:
"Dedicated to Mason! A truly wonderful dog who will live in our memories!
A delicious ride with spectacular foley-age!"
Thanks to Mike Turek for designing Team Darttrek's route and leading his team.

"We had a beautiful day for riding. Light winds in the morning developed into some headwind on the return but temps were pleasant.
Due to the recent rains much of the gravel sections were well-packed, though not all of the gravel.
There were some rough washboard sections before and after Nunn.
The winds died down as the afternoon progressed, making for an enjoyable fall evening finish.
Overall it was another great RMCC brevet!"

Most Dirt and Gravel Ever on a Dart!
9
starters and
9
finishers on two teams rode the Colorado Front Range Dart.
Weather was reasonably nice, with only spotty showers in the afternoon.
The Wild Cat Ptarmigans rode a congenial but much more gravelly route than in years past (42% unpaved).
The Late Edition team's route was 31% unpaved.
Corinne writes: "Team Late Edition was exactly that: our group coalesced only five days before the event,
with Colin and Corinne throwing together a route. We started from Jason's house in the true spirit of a dart and headed west.
Climbing Golden Gate Canyon, the leaf peeping traffic was mitigated by taking Crawford Gulch.
Mountain Base was a scenic and steep diversion, new to everyone but Corinne.
A very chunky and sandy dirt road brought us to Rollinsville, where we stopped for coffee and donuts.
A few more miles brought us to Sugarloaf, which we descended into Boulder, where Paul treated us to lunch.
"Then we turned north and took mostly dirt roads. It was just past the Boulder Reservoir that Jason broke a spoke,
the only mishap of the day, and fairly easily MacGyvered. A series of paved and fine gravel bike paths
wended our way through Longmont and back to Boulder, where we stopped at Sweet Cow for an ice cream break.
Though clouds threatened most of the afternoon, we never got wet and the last 25k was a pleasant and
leisurely roll into the finish. At exactly 125 miles and 9,100' by the captain's GPS,
the day was a total success, with no stress and no suffering and only one damaged wheel."
Thanks to captains Corinne Warren and Vernon Smith for coming up with good routes
and leading their teams!

Stormiest Saunter Interlude Ever?
8
starters and
8
finishers rode the Stove Prairie Saunter 200k. Lloyd reports:
"It was a pleasant morning for the eight riders starting out. Some chose to pack more than others
(aka listened to the weather prognosticators). That said, it looked as we had a nice little cross-tailwind
heading out. After a nice visit with some sportbike riders at the top we chose to descend,
and that had the typical swirling headwind down from Stove Prairie to Masonville.
"Heading to Sandy's, it was a headwind, but nothing crazy, but shortly after Sandy's is when the fun began.
That's when a healthy cross-headwind reared it ugly head, and little drops of rain would occasionally let us know what we were in for. As Debbie stated, when the rain came, it chased away the wind, and it turned into a tailwind, albeit a wet one. It was quite a gullywasher, and we arrived at the destination wet, but happy.
"Such is Brevet riding. A good ride and a little character building made all the better with good people riding bikes.
"Note: The store is now open again in Masonville. This may be common knowledge by now, but nice people and happy for the business."
Thanks to Lloyd Jones for leading!

but overall it was a beautiful day for a ride on this spectacular route!"

1
starter and
1
finisher rode the Lefthand Canyon - Pawnee Grasslands - Devil's Gulch 1000k.
Despite this being Billy's first 1000k, and first randonnée in Colorado, he did great.
He reported no big problems with the altitude, just a bit of energy drain, which is typical.
(Billy is from the St. Paul, MN area, so definitely a change in altitude and scenery.)
Highs in the 90's made for toasty afternoons but on the whole good weather,
broken only by two rain showers on the second day.
Congrats to Billy!

Blusteriest Peak-to-Peak Yet?
5
starters and
4
finishers rode the Peak-to-Peak 300k. Mike reports:
"Another Glorious P2P ride! This route highlights some of the most breathtaking views in the front range.
With a little extra wind and weather thrown in, nature did not disappoint again!
"Riders headed up Coal Creek with a chilly start. I encouraged folks to stop midway up at the
Canyon Coffee - best Cortado and HandPie I’ve had in many years!
On the way up, Corinne and I spotted a Bobcat out on his morning stroll.
Cresting on Coal Creek reminded us of why we endure long climbs.
With the peaks still displaying snow fields, they shined in front of us just
before the nice switchbacks and rolling meadows brought us to 119.
Rolling P2P greeted us with more views…and wind and some sputtering rain.
Reaching Estes Park was a nice warm respite. Glen Haven Cinnamon buns went down easy…
just like the descent down 34. But, storms were lurking just like the turkeys around the
Green Ridge Glade reservoir. Paul and Mike sat out a bit of rain at Sandy’s but Corinne was hit
during the climb up the dam, while Jim enjoyed huge tailwind to Platteville.
Luckily, he saved some tailwind of the rest of us.
Some riders detoured Colorado 13 with a new Roundabout, others used it as a vehicle free stretch. :-)"

Vail Pass Volley
7
starters and
6
finishers rode the Vail Pass Volley 200k. Paul Foley writes:
"The seven riders (and six finishers) started the journey up Ten Mile Canyon with
ominous clouds ahead of them, but any meaningful rain remained trapped within those clouds.
We had the cheering support of volunteers for the Courage Classic while climbing and descending
Vail Pass both outbound and inbound, which made the journey a little easier and certainly more exciting.
Slightly swirling winds were a benefit for swift riders who seemingly had elements of a
tailwind in both directions of the ride. However, other riders were met with stiff head winds
which only served to increase the challenge of their ride.
No rain and overall mild cloud cover, otherwise, made for a very pleasant day.
The changing scenery from the high alpines of Vail Pass to the high desert arid plains of
Gypsum always provides refreshing views along the way."

Hottest Colorado 1200k Ever!
23
starters and
15
finishers rode the second edition of the Colorado Front Range 1200k.
Approximate high temperatures were 96° on Day 1, 98° on Day 2, 99° on Day 3,
and 89° on Day 4 (a real cool-off). But some areas out on the Plains reached or exceeded 100°.
Pre-dawn hours were in the low 50's, though, so some good early hours, and up at altitude.
The major route changes were on Day 1 - up to Ward and the Peak-to-Peak Highway 4
then down St. Vrain Canyon (not possible in 2023 because of a rockslide in St. Vrain Canyon)
and on Day 2 - up St. Vrain Canyon, Peak-to-Peak Highway to Estes Park and Glen Haven.
That plus the addition of Olde Tale Road at the last minute.
All this made for lots more scenery.
A big thanks to Brent Myers and Beth Long, who provided a cookout at check-in,
and snacks and drinks waiting for riders in the hotel lobby.
Some stats:
- 23 riders, including one 1000k riders
- 65% finishing rate (all but one because of heat) - 80% in 2023
- 60% non-local riders (including one from the Philippines) - 83% in 2023
Congratulations to all the finishers, and kudos to everyone for their persistence!

Greenest Roggen Audax Ever!
Mike reports:
"Greenest Roggen ever! 11 starters and 11 finishers, Rode, Ate, Drank and completed this 200k Audax together.
We rode Colorado style audax, a little more flexibility rotating lead to share the windbreaking,
but always together. With our wet spring, green was everywhere.
Lots of farms, animals checking us out and rolling roads greeted us as we headed due east all morning.
But, unlike the last 2 weeks, just Colorado blue skies
The Valero owner in Roggen recognized us and looks forward to seeing us in December.
I guess they don’t get many cyclists there. Hudson Pepperpod team were ready for us with a table reserved.
It’s the best part of Audax, because of timetable, we can predict arrival times,
which Grace also appreciated for Happy Hour stop at Turek’s.
Only downside to the PepperPod is the large portions, which some of us had trouble resisting…
made the small climbs returning to Longmont a little tough for this ride leader :-).
"After ramen and drinks, we headed into Niwot via the scenic route.
But before we left, a couple of votes were taken. 1. By unanimous acclimation with one recusal (me),
the team voted to make my house the Rando Clubhouse (like they have in France).
2. Agreed by overwhelming consent, Vail Glenwood Springs Vail Ride will be primary Audax next year.
We can carpool, as long as we take it easy to keep all riders together on return, it is perfect Audax."

official starters and

finishers rode the Palmer Divide Gravel Getaway 125 km Populaire. Corinne reports:
"Low-lying clouds and unseasonably cool temperatures set the stage for a day of challenging weather conditions
that never really manifested. The course attracted two riders new to both RMCC and RUSA
as well as a few of our regular club riders. Curiously, there were none of the standard brevet riders in attendance.
Staying together as a group for much of the course, the riders enjoyed the route and the camaraderie and
finish times are fairly close together for a route that traditionally separates riders by hours.
Congratulations to all the riders, and especially our two new RMCC members!"

Temps were mild, topping out in the low 70's down here, making for a chilly time in Rustic.
Rashid commented,
"Aside from a wet road, ten minutes of rain, and a moment that stung like hail, the storm quickly passed.
I attribute the lack of precipitation to the talismanic nature of the rain jackets we’d donned in anticipation of a soaking."
Typical headwinds coming back from Rawhide, and strange nightlife at the 7-Eleven in Platteville.
Reassuring consistency on these rides.

Nicest Glen Haven 300k Ever?
18
starters and
16
finishers rode the Glen Haven 300k.
Weather was near perfect, with a mild 46° start, topping out at 78°, light breezes,
and loads of sun. The lush fields of our peak green season juxtaposed against the bright white
of the freshly snowed-upon mountains.
We had to detour from Rd. 6 (closed until August because of roadwork) to Rd. 2, adding 4 miles
and some extra traffic. Fortunately, Niwot Road had just reopened where it crosses the Diagonal,
after a closure to put in a bike tunnel.

Nicest Flèche in Years!
10
starters and
10
finishers spread across two teams
completed another successful Colorado Front Range Flèche.
Weather was dry and mild and brilliantly sunny,
40° to 70's on the first day, 40's overnight.
We returned to the Coal Creek Golf Course Grill
for a delicious post-flèche brunch,
a venue we also used in 2019, 2023, and 2024.
Only two teams this year, consisting of seasoned Flèche veterans who knew how to have fun!

Mike reports: "Riding a similar route to 2024 due to its total excellence of views,
variation and pleasant roads, we headed out from Red Feather Lakes…how many Fleche
teams start at a Feather?
"Spectacular Colorado blue skies, green hills and white high mountains were everywhere.
But most notably, we cycled 40% gravel!*
We must have ridden on every surface, rutted forest access roads descending from Red Feather Lakes,
Smooth MgCl and Pot Holed MgCl roads in Larimer and Boulder Counties, dusty, deep gravel in
Pawnee Grass Lands, and of course a few Bike Trails.
"Our team stopped in Livermore for celebratory Culver’s mini-martini’s,
Jen and Rashid’s for pleasant charcuteries and pasta lunch, Easton Pizzeria for dinner,
Lisa and John’s farm for second Mexican Dinner…finally Chez Grace for late night ramen,
cereal and yogurt.
"With minor tweaks, we’ll probably ride same route next year…we’ll see."
* And starting this year Flèche riders get unpaved credit from RUSA,
though Mike didn't know that before the ride.

| Wild Cat Ptarmigans

Vernon reports: "The Wildcat-Ptarmigan Flèche team rode From Louisville to Wyoming and back via Horsetooth,
Laporte, Carr, the “Welcome to Wyoming” sign, Wellington, and the Ft. St. Vrain power plant
(which is half a mile past the area of Colorado called Wildcat).
Of course we had perfect weather. The wind was favorable, there was no rain,
and the temperatures were excellent.
"We had four of the original Wildcat-Ptarmigan members (Dustin, Vernon, Tom and Oksana) and filled our empty spot with Debbie because David Weigel couldn’t make it this year. It was a good team.
"We had lunch at the taco truck in Laporte and in a few minutes the only other
Flèche team rolled in after coming down from Red Feather.
We rode through Carr without stopping headed up to Wyoming,
but stopped to use the spigot on the back of the church recreation center on the way back.
Other than that, there are no services for the 80 miles between Laporte and Wellington.
"We finished with a tour of Broomfield which was quite nice. Good team, good Flèche.

Most change for the better in one week in April!
20
starters and
20
finishers rode the Stove Prairie 200k.
We delayed one week because of snowy weather leading up to the original date.
Mike reports:
"So glad we delayed. A few wet roads early and chilly, but nice calm winds, then tail wind up the Poudre Canyon.
I heard a few PRs were set. :-) A crash on I-25 delayed a couple of folks getting to the ride start,
but they managed to get underway within the hour time limit.
They caught the party train at Sandy’s on the way home.
What a fantastic Colorado spring day!!"

Best "Sojourn" Weather Ever!
6
starters and
6
finishers rode the South Platte Sojourn - Populaire 157k. Jason Bordelon
graciously stepped up to lead this ride and reports:
"The ride was challenging (as expected!) but the weather could hardly have been better.
The dirt roads to Deckers were nice and all 6 of us who started finished,
with all of us riding together for more or less most of the ride.
We had lunch at Deckers (including some enormous ice cream cones) and
I think everyone was ready for and enjoyed the descent back into Chatfield.
"This route is harder than many of the eastern 200k brevets,
but definitely worth it to get out west early in the season."

starters and

finishers rode the Lefthand Bertha Roubaix 110k Populaire. Mike Turek reports:
"Fear of mud kept a few intelligent souls away, but those fears were unfounded as soft packed dirt
(occasional mud) greeted us on this years running of Lefthand Bertha Roubaix,
First leg of the 2025 Gravel Rouler Series."
"Next year, we’ll move the start point…once again the Niwot Invitational Track
meet took all parking spots away.
We’ll also make a couple of route adjustments, staying on Niwot Rd to 287 and crossing 119 using Niwot road at the end.
"As we headed east, we quickly broke into 2 groups, so, sorry no pictures of the fast guys. Enjoy the party group pics below.
No Stop at Turek’s backyard due to threat of rain.
We welcomed Rashid and Jen, back from Spain, (and practices for the flèche) with Ramen,
Belgian Beer, Cheese and Fresh Eggs from Mangin’s farm in my kitchen."

Chilliest Black Forest Yet?
5
starters and

finishers rode the Black Forest and Back 200k. Lloyd reports:
"The ride started cold, and in my opinion, it never really warmed up. The winds were favorable at the start,
then as Black Forest approached, they became quite variable, then being far less favorable on the way back.
The sun was out at the start, then it hid behind clouds more often than not. Black forest was downright cold!"

Second Ever Bo-Lar Boogie!
10
starters and
10
finishers rode the Bo-Lar Boogie 200k. Mike Turek reports:
"Today was our Farewell to Jason Turner ride.he’s moving to Tulsa in a few weeks to double
the number of RUSA members there. Weather forecast was wonderful for February,
but we became concerned during pre-ride brief; folks had trouble hearing due to the wind.
Luckily, they calmed as we cycled along our familiar foothills roads.
By the time we reached Sandy’s the sun was warming us nicely.
"The westerly winds increased substantially, making a pretty fast trip to Johnstown.
The re-route to Colorado 17 gave us a larger shoulder and fewer cars - a keeper for all our routes.
However, the wind gods would exact justice during return to Longmont.
Once we turned right on CO 34, progress slowed considerably.
Tenacity for the riders was rewarded with the turn south to Louisville,
the last 20 miles providing a nice cooldown into the finish.
"Jason promised to create some gravel routes so we can come out and grab a new state.
He’ll also be riding the first USA Audax 600k out of St. Louis May 24th.
If folks want to join, let Mike Turek know for carpooling efforts."

Foggiest Coldest Boondoggle Ever!
7
starters and
7
finishers rode the Boone Boondoggle 200k. Mike Turek reports:
"7 Brave Cold Weather Warriors cycled into the Icy Fog following the Arkansas River Valley towards La Junta.
First time in recent memory we kept every article of clothing on all day!
We quickly broke into 2 groups - Hammers and Touristic.
Unfortunately we could not see the Sangre De Cristo peaks to the west … but we did
see many other interesting sites along the way: The Ice Trees, Frosty Cows
(2 looking lost standing next to the road), remote roads with few cars, and nice folks
wondering what we were doing out. Oh, and a Crowley County sheriff worried about our safety -
A reminder to carry Lights and reflective gear on every ride. We needed both all day long."
