This relatively gentle 200k will take riders from the glitzy ski town of Vail, along the I-70 corridor and the river front bike path, into Glenwood Springs. With only 4,700′ of climbing the whole day, this is an approachable 200k that is ideal for the novice coming off a summer of riding centuries and the like, who wants to step their riding up to the next level. And it’ll be a fun day for the seasoned rando amongst friends in a relaxed atmosphere.
