Rockies Road Tour, Colorado USA
Over 600 miles of epic climbs, breath taking mountain passes and endless descents amongst the beautiful scenery of the Colorado Rockies. This holiday takes you on the finest hand picked routes through the Rockies and with over 63,000 ft of road climbs in two weeks, this is a truly unforgettable adventure for the true cycling addict.
 Colorado in the summer time is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. With such a variety of scenery and a fantastic network of mountain roads, it’s hard to picture a better place to spend your holiday relaxing and enjoying your surroundings whilst pushing yourself to the limit at the same time and eating up those miles knowing that your hard work will bring you a different destination and a completely new experience everyday.
Lush green pine forests climb the slopes to majestic, snow capped 14000ft. peaks which overlook crystal clear mountain lakes feeding miles of raging white water creeks. You will parallel the rivers as they start to meander across vast grasslands where wildlife thrives and aspen forests provide further atmosphere as the sun flickers its shards through the foliage and the Elk look on.
 Whilst all this beauty surrounds you you’ll be raking up the miles on smooth US highways and byways. Colorado is the outdoor sports capital of the United States and cyclists are very welcome on the roads. The relaxed pace of life means no angry motorists spoiling the ride, in fact, many motorists and locals along your route will encourage and take genuine interest in you visiting their beautiful countryside. The shoulders of the roads are often wide and clear and in many parts, cycle paths are also often smoother then the roads they parallel.
Our itinerary takes you onto quiet roads within National Parks, over 12000ft. mountain passes and challenges you to the infamous Mt.Evans hill climb.
 We move from town to town through the Rockies with a support vehicle at all times. This means there is no need to carry excessive supplies with you, after all you’re here to cycle, not imitate a pack horse. Your bags will be checked in and waiting for you in a hotel room at the end of each day so all you need to do is relax after your day's ride and enjoy the various Colorado mountain towns. On certain days the designated route may not start or finish at the hotel. When this is the case, you will be driven the dull miles; there is no reason to ride a road for the sake of it so we have selected the best routes in the Rockies to fill your two week adventure with. There literally will not be a dull day!
