Showers Pass 7am Start
Description: This is a great challenge with epic scenery! I would recommend a gravel bike with 42 or larger tires. There are some steap loose decents in this route. If you want to be super comfortable, take a moutain bike with fast rolling tires. The actual elevation is about 13-14,000 feet. The evelation on the Strava route link is way off!.
It took mee 2.5 hours to get to the school. I was riding in zone 2, taking pictures, smelling flowers…Then about 6 hours at touring pace to get around the loop. It was a nice 9-10 hour leisure day on the bike.
The route will be well marked and supported! We will have a chase vehicle with food and water. There will also be food and water avaiable on the route.
