But the third day this year had been longer, and conditions difficult.</p><p>That meant that many of them were delayed by the closure of Hwy. 14 in Poudre Canyon, due to a motor vehicle accident west of Mishiwaka and Stove Prairie Road. But cyclists were allowed through (while motorists had to wait hours or detour via Red Feather Lakes).</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">♦ ♦ ♦</span></p><p style="text-align: center;">Waiting at the finish was this inspirational cake, provided by Beth Long, who also did behind-the-scenes organizing.

I noticed it specifically on the way up Willow Creek Pass (last climb of 3rd day)." Note that a section of this highway was closed earlier in the week to clear runoff-born debris.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Rock Fall</b> - "Rock fall on the road was pretty common. One rider's tubeless tires did not survive this hazard. (Replaced and thrown away). That was on Poudre Canyon descent on last day, but be alert for rockfall throughout the route."</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Poudre Canyon Road Work</b> - Work crews are widening sections of Hwy. 14 in Poudre Canyon. You can expect alternating one-way traffic at one or more points. In some ways this is good, because cyclists will have protected transit through these zones, and it tends to bunch up traffic, so that you will encounter clusters of vehicles interspersed with no traffic.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Rabbit Ears Pass Road Work - </b>Signs were posted on the Rabbit Ears Pass segment heading towards Steamboat Springs for road work to come.

Thought I’d offer up a few observations and some unsolicited advice on a few topics.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Ride timing: </span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The ride has a short first day - only about 300 kilometers. This throws out a lot of the usual thinking about timing, in particular about when to get going each morning. I believe that the ride organizers are going to make all the controls untimed. This would be good, because the official closing times at Walden would normally be 1:16am, 11:48pm, and 4:35am. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you tried to leave by the closing times, you would do a lot of unnecessary riding in the dark. You might also have super-long distances to cover until you could get supplies. For example, if you leave too early on Day 2, you may reach Saratoga WY with nothing open. That would put your first available services (Centennial WY) at 185 kilometers over the highest point of the ride. Don’t do it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My recommendation is to take advantage of the short first day to get some extra sleep. On the pre-ride, we left at 5am for Days 2 and 3 and 6am for Day 4. We still finished comfortably with 5 hours to spare, with overnight stops of 9.3 hours, 6.6 hours, and 6.4 hours. Knowing what I know now, I would have opted for 4am, 4am, and 6am, adding an hour of morning dark riding and losing an hour of nighttime dark riding on Days 2 and 3.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In case this info is useful to your calculations, note that my on-bike time at CHC was 52:54 vs 57:40 at PBP2019. But for the altitude, I think CHC (which I’ve now done twice) is easier than PBP.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Altitude:</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I think that the altitude of the ride is definitely a factor for us lowlanders. What I experienced was a feeling that I needed to shift down by a gear or two compared to what I would expect to ride on the same grade at home. Luckily for me, the climbing is not steep and therefore I had gears to spare. The pass climbs are remarkably gentle by WA standards, but they sure are long.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My plans included no time to acclimatize. I arrived in CO the day before the ride. By the time I reached Cameron Pass on Day 1, I was 10,000ft higher than where I had woken up less than 36 hours before. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It was suggested to me that I could ameliorate the effects of altitude by making sure I was well hydrated. (“Pound the Gatorade” for 2 days prior to the start, I was told.) Between Gatorade and water bottles with electrolyte tablets over those two days, I was super-hydrated. (I used Endurolyte Fizz, but imagine that the Nuun ones or the GU ones would be fine.) I don’t know if there’s science behind this, but I’m not going to argue with success. I kept it up through the ride with a couple of electrolyted water bottles each night/morning at Walden and a fair amount of Gatorade at stops).</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Weather:</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I think it should be emphasized that you should be prepared for anything from wet, cold hypothermic descents to blistering hot, unshaded stretches. I think we were pretty lucky, actually. The most uncomfortably cold section was a descent from Cameron Pass on Day 1 in a steady rain. It was maybe 50F or high 40s. The other significant rain was between Steamboat Springs and Gore Pass on Day 3, but it wasn’t cold. Pre-dawn temperatures on Days 3 and 4 were mid- to low 40s, but warmed up pretty quickly with the sun. I never used my raincoat, but my tolerance for wet cold is higher than most. Two short-sleeve layers (one wool), a vest, and arm warmers got me by.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Our daytime highs were maybe mid-80s at most, but two weeks earlier, there were 100F temps in CO. I was pretty concerned about the possibility of heat issues, but they didn’t materialize on pre-ride. For me, it was unzipped jersey, no base-layer weather. But be prepared.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Supplies:</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Without really high temperatures on the pre-ride, we were fine for services. We arrived Walden the first night in time to order burgers at the restaurant (last orders taken at 8:00p), but mostly we cached food via our drop bag support. (In my case, an awful lot of Ensure, but it got me by). Unless I’m mistaken you will have night/morning food at Walden all three nights.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Key spots. On Day 1 - Ted’s at base of Poudre Canyon and Rustic store halfway up. Plan on nothing after Rustic until you get to Walden. On Day 2, there is a whole lot of nothing between Saratoga and Centennial. Food is available in Laramie, but you have to take a left at control towards the interstate instead of following route to right. We went to a Subway, but there are lots of other options too. Plan to get from Laramie to Walden with nothing. On Day 3, we stopped in Steamboat, Yampa, Kremmling, and Hot Sulfur Springs. (Note that the route does not actually go to Granby, so there is nothing after Hot Sulphur Springs.) This was just enough. Day 4 was not stressful for services availability and a nice sit-down breakfast in Rustic after Cameron Pass climb set us up nicely for rest of the day. Apparently the tailwinds that we enjoyed from Fort Collins back are not normal, so it may be a tougher slog, but there are lots of services over the last stretch.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I carried 3 water bottles, but they were insulated ones, so I only had 64oz capacity. With no bad heat, it was enough, but there were one or two stretches where I used nearly all of it. I carried lots of bike food.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Traffic / construction / roads:</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Riding on Friday and Saturday of the 4th of July weekend garnered us some extra recreational traffic. It should be a little better during the week. The worst stretch for me was the section of US40 on the way to Kremmling after coming off of Gore Pass. No paved shoulder, highway traffic, ugh.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Road construction at the base of Poudre Canyon will require you to wait for a pilot car, but the wait wasn’t too long. You will probably encounter it in both directions, but we retuned on a non-work day, so only one way for us. Construction is scheduled to start at the top of Rabbit Ears Pass (Day 3) before the main ride. Not sure what the effect will be. A bit of construction between Willow Creek Pass and Walden on day 3 was only a traffic light and a narrow bridge - not really an issue at all.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">By and large the pavement conditions are good, but there are some significant stretches with cracks all the way across the road at annoying frequency. You won’t regret having the biggest tires you can mount.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Other:</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Watch out for wildlife. It’s really fun to spot a moose and maybe get a picture. It would not be fun to hit one. (Another reason to limit night riding.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Sunscreen - you’re up high, after all.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Don’t forget to pack your jerseys. It’s harder to ride without pockets. Don’t ask why I know.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Any questions, holler. Have fun. It’s a beautiful ride. Scenic high points are Poudre Canyon and the Snowy Range. Lots of pretty elsewhere too, but the fire and beetle devastation can be a bit heartbreaking.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Mark</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjOXglca493Hv63Qv0qnPnFoR39qQNg1iqLKxiHVRN7mg8NfW39tOanZnhLNuClVVPqsmdfiESwCmZtcLBFgXaYd7DVJ33w16ZruSyRMGz8sanBtEyi_DuXlHE2I1AAAGbGYoGwMHAvIBV/s640/unnamed+%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="508" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjOXglca493Hv63Qv0qnPnFoR39qQNg1iqLKxiHVRN7mg8NfW39tOanZnhLNuClVVPqsmdfiESwCmZtcLBFgXaYd7DVJ33w16ZruSyRMGz8sanBtEyi_DuXlHE2I1AAAGbGYoGwMHAvIBV/w381-h508/unnamed+%25281%2529.jpg" width="381" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724216709786354794.post-31286642819830016012021-06-30T18:05:00.008-06:002021-06-30T18:07:12.111-06:00CHC'21 Pre-Riders Start Out!<span style="font-size: medium;">Five riders started out from the traditional Louisville perm-and-brevet start location at 5:00 am this morning, under brilliant skies.

Some notes ...</span></i></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Event Procedures </span></b>- Have a look at the <a href="http://www.rmccrides.com/brevet-chc2016-event-procedures2.pdf"><span style="color: #cc0000;">2016 Event Procedures</span></a> document, if you haven't already. This year's will be similar. We'll be updating this document after the pre-ride. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Pre-Ride</span></b> - Our pre-riders will be starting on Wednesday, June 30. They will be highlighting any services, road, or other issues. <i>Bonne route!</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Start Time</span></b> - Pre-riders will be starting around 5:00 am, and we expect that will be our event start time, because the first day is shorter than in years past. Hopefully this will enable a good amount of sleep prior to departing.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Proof of Passage</span></b> - We plan to allow GPS tracks and photos for every checkpoint. But you may also take a card and get validation from store clerks, etc. If you do rely on GPS, we will accept multiple GPS tracks (e.g., one per stage), and will encourage you to have a backup mode - photos, or receipts, etc., in case your GPS device conks out.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Rider Progress Tracking </span></b>- As in years past, you may supply us a link to a GPS tracking page showing your position. These links will be included on the Rider Progress page. But you are also invited to join the <a href="https://new.spotwalla.com/lp/90bc-1852da3e-e989/join" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">CHC Spotwalla</span></a> page set up by our friend Greg Smith.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Luggage Storage</span></b> - The manager of the Quality Inn in Louisville is arranging a room for CHC Quality Inn guests to use for luggage, including bike containers. This is a smaller space than in years past (which was their conference room), but their conference room had already been booked. This should work out ok, but we'll also be asking you if you have a rental vehicle in which you could leave some or all of your luggage, to offload that space.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Post Event Dining</span></b> - In past years, we've reserved a room at the Carrabba's restaurant down the street in Louisville, but looks like this location has folded, sadly. So we'll probably recommend heading across the street from the Quality Inn to Murphy's.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As always, let me know if you have any questions!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">-jle</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTaWEOmnq3AZnn1SBxMAtYHtPBky_4eOC6Wf06rbyyUCGh-5XdGrBALF1PkpA7n9uSY_TQ7o9sHp2b8D9NDppIX0CiQJDPFrBeR9Rwcu-nKmfAYd_K9CcrshL46Fp4mgDL7vryDqGDwnVV/s1600/brevet-chc-pix4-hwy25.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1091" data-original-width="1600" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTaWEOmnq3AZnn1SBxMAtYHtPBky_4eOC6Wf06rbyyUCGh-5XdGrBALF1PkpA7n9uSY_TQ7o9sHp2b8D9NDppIX0CiQJDPFrBeR9Rwcu-nKmfAYd_K9CcrshL46Fp4mgDL7vryDqGDwnVV/w394-h268/brevet-chc-pix4-hwy25.jpg" width="394" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>On the way from Laramie back to Walden</i></div><br /><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724216709786354794.post-88784370700403285652021-06-10T18:52:00.001-06:002021-06-10T18:52:08.813-06:00A couple rooms to be released at Walden<p>The CHC team will be releasing a couple of extra rooms at Walden tonight or tomorrow.

Before we release the rooms tomorrow, June 10, we're offering them as "upgrades" to single-occupancy, first come, first serve.

This is near the deadline after which they will charge us for all the rooms we've reserved, so this is our last chance to free up rooms we do not need.</p><p>When we have done that, we will post on this blog, and on the <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!forum/colorado-high-country-1200k"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>CHC Google Group</b></span></a>.

So we've left it up to each rider to decide whether this event made sense for them. (That is given that we would have protocols in place for food handling, gathering at the overnight checkpoint, etc. - more on that to come.)</p><p>So this is our policy for assigning rooms, if you've chosen the CHC lodging option:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>We will assign rooms in Walden the first evening, and you may keep your room for the three nights in Walden, unless some special situation means some folks need to be relocated.</li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>If you and another rider have decided to room together, you can tell us before the ride or when you arrive in Walden, so we can assign you the same room (whether or not you arrive at the same time).</li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Otherwise, you will be assigned the next room available when you arrive that first evening ... except that if you are COVID-19 vaccinated, you may request to room with another vaccinated rider. At least in the US, the vaccine is now plentiful (and free), so it's a good assumption that riders who've wanted to be vaccinated now have been.</li></ul><div>Please feel free to <a href="http://rmccrides.com/contactjohnleeellis.htm">contact me</a> or other staff members with any concerns or questions!</div><div><br /></div><div>-jle</div><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724216709786354794.post-19646241811037572162021-05-31T07:20:00.007-06:002021-05-31T07:20:52.830-06:00Jerseys and Vests - 5/31 Deadline Reminder<p> A reminder that May 31 (today) is the final day to order a CHC jersey or vest to be received by July 9.</p><p><a href="http://www.rmccrides.com/brevet-chc2021-jersey-info.htm"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Jersey + Vest Order Info (and Voler link)</span></b></a></p><p>-jle</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724216709786354794.post-91013209377422037042021-05-17T15:32:00.002-06:002021-05-17T15:32:47.288-06:00Info for Riders and Route Updated<p> We've updated:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="http://www.rmccrides.com/brevet-chc2021-info.htm"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Info for Riders</b></span></a> - to bring things up to 2021 - no major changes, mainly adapting the services and ride details sections to the route changes.</li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://ridewithgps.com/routes/36074743"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Route</b></span></a> - Checkpoints and services added, minor route changes.
