Hottest Peak-to-Peak Ever!

3 starters and 3 finishers rode the Peak-to-Peak 300k. David reports: "The miles on the Peak to Peak, Colorado's oldest scenic byway, were excellent. The higher elevation extended the early morning temps in the 60's and 70's into the late morning. Food and drinks on the P2P were also a highlight: bagel sandwiches, banana bread and coffee in Nederland, fresh spring water in Allenspark, and of course the mandatory cinnamon rolls in Glen Haven. Descending back down into the plains brought the temps up to the high 90's. Sticking together for most of the ride was a great mental boost while trying to deal with the heat."

Thanks to David Weigel for leading!

First and Toastiest Taste of the Front Range Audax 300k!

10 starters and 10 finishers rode the Front Range Audax 300k. In addition to the challenge of the course, temps topped out at 100° at various places along the route.

Mike reports: "Our inaugural Taste of the Front Range Audax was a resounding success. True to the spirit of Audax — much like Flèches and Darts — we rode, ate, and finished together. Our varied routing between familiar controls delivered quiet Northern Colorado roads, brand-new scenery, and fun bike trails.

"Those more adventurous routes came with a cost in time. Sandy gravel, steady climbing, and long stretches of hot, exposed roads slowed our average speed and led to longer, more frequent stops. We also paused to help a young woman who was being followed by a creep on the Poudre Canyon Trail. Dustin and I walked with her to North Taft and waited until her friend arrived to pick her up.

"Once the sun set, the group picked up the pace. The final 30 miles — aside from the washboard roads around Boyd Lake — were pure pleasure. The sweet scent of blooming alfalfa, the long descent down 95th Street, and lively recaps of the day’s adventures made those miles fly by.

"This event is definitely worth repeating. Next up? Maybe a 400k Audax… which requires a sleep stop!"

Thanks to Mike Turek for leading!

Toastiest Vail Pass Volley Ever!

9 starters and 8 finishers rode the Vail Pass Volley 200k. ... John reports: "Seven riders started with pleasant conditions on the trail to Copper Mountain. Temperatures were in the 50s with light winds, but soon warmed significantly. Tailwinds helped for a fast ride to Gypsum. The afternoon was a matter of heat management, as much as anything. There were periods of headwinds and tailwinds, but the heat was constant, making the climb back up Vail Pass even more difficult. The payoff of a pleasant descent back to Frisco was worth it!"

9 starters and 8 finishers rode the Vail Pass Volley 200k.

Breeziest North Park - Laramie - Cheyenne 600k Ever?

6 starters and 6 finishers rode the North Park - Laramie - Cheyenne 600k. Dustin reports: "Josh, Chris, Billy, and Cory are all very fast. Billy and Cory decided to ride straight through without stopping. Josh and Chris stayed in Cheyenne for the night; they arrived early enough to get pizza and about nine hours of rest. Trent and I decided to stop in Laramie to maximise our time off the bike; it worked out quite nicely. The brevet was very difficult, mainly because of the wind. The section from Rustic to Walden was especially difficult. The tailwind from Woods Landing to Laramie was incredible; it allowed a bit of time for some recovery. The highlight for me was on the second day. Happy Jack Road was really nice. I especially enjoyed the low traffic, scenery, and rolling terrain. Seeing all of the pronghorn antelope was also a highlight; seeing them run in a pack was quite impressive."

First VGV Audax Ever!

5 starters and 5 finishers rode the VGV Audax 200k. Mike reports: "5 starters and 5 finishers, cycled, rested and ate together in true spirit of audax. We headed west into the bluest Colorado skies dustin and I had seen in a long time…enjoying morning light traffic west on US-6 towards Glen Canyon and of course lots of descent. There we enjoyed traffic of a different sort: Hikers, Cyclists and on the river Rafters, Kayakers and even paddle boarders navigating rapids. After a great sit down lunch at Sal Mex, we headed back for the climb…. Wind helped up greatly, but it did get warm. We particularly enjoyed riding back mostly on bike paths, avoiding afternoon US-6 traffic and experiencing new views closer to the river - I highly recommend even for Allure Libre folks who are in a rush :-). We saw them building even more, yay!"

4 starters and 4 finishers rode the Palmer Divide Gravel Getaway 125k Populaire. Corinne reports:

"Near-perfect weather and great road conditions, thanks to a solid soaking the day before, meant that the riders could not have asked for a better day for this gravel ride. Only a bit mushy on the northern end, the dirt was mostly packed and fast-rolling, and a mild breeze cooled rather than hindered riders. Elk and antelope were sighted along the way, and exceptionally low vehicle traffic made for an idyllic day on the bike."

Poudre Canyon

13 starters and 11 finishers rode the Poudre Canyon 300k/400k/600k. The Colorado Fruita Loops 1200k/1000k/400k siphoned a few local riders off, but there was still a good turnout for Poudre.

John Mangin reports: "The ride started with pleasant conditions. Generally, this was the case up to Rustic, when the wind became a factor. Riders were challenged with 10-20 mph winds mainly from the southwest. The temperatures were still pleasant through the evening. For the 200km Kersey loop, an early start made for some pleasant conditions for about half the distance to Kersey. Then winds were again a factor, this time from the northeast. This made for a nice tailwind after leaving Kersey [on thte 600k], but only until Hudson. Storms in the area then made conditions challenging again, but eventually moved further east. Overall it was a challenging but satisfying ride.

First Ever Colorado Fruita Loops 1200!

52 starters and 40 finishers rode the Colorado Fruita Loops 1200 / 1000 / 400. The inaugural Colorado Fruita Loops 1200 + 1000 had 48 starters and 36 finishers, plus 3 finishers on the 400k option. Conditions varied from frigid starts on the pre-ride, to toasty desert highs on the actual event followed by chilling rain and threat of snow. Riders handled it all.

The pre-ride started on May 1. It was invaluable for verifying services and improving the route: avoiding a construction zone north of Moab, better routing into and out of Utah, better routing on surface streets and paths through Grand Junction.

Just as temps were below average on the pre-ride, they climbed into the 90's - 10 degrees above average - the first two days of the event. Winds also played a role in this exposed landscape. On the third stage, with threat of snow and temps in the 30's and 40's on the Grand Mesa, we used the alternate albeit less interesting route to Hotchkiss and back. On the return leg, stiff headwinds slowed riders to a crawl.

The fun wasn't over, however. The same system brought chilling rain the fourth morning, and snow on the approach to Douglas Pass. So riders were turned around at the base of the pass where it was 38°. The mileage was made up by transiting the Colorado National Monument in both directions, as the sun broke through, providing a dramatic finale.

Thanks to volunteers Dustin Harding, Beth Long, Brent Myers, and Beverly Weigel!

Thanks to Beth Long and Brent Myers for the route concept; and Tim "Foon" Feldman, Mike Sturgill, Brian McGuire, and Charlie Martin for route development.

12 starters and 12 finishers spread across three teams completed another successful Colorado Front Range Flèche. Weather was dry, mild, and sunny during the day. This year we chose The Huckleberry for a delicious post-flèche brunch, charming atmosphere, great food, and a rooomy space for us to sit together. Only three teams this year, consisting largely of seasoned Flèche. A special thanks to Dustin Harding who volunteered to move from the Wild Cat Ptarmigans to the new Lark Bunting team so they would have three riders.

Quartier Lanternes Rouges
Mike reports: "Strong Team this year rode thru about 95 miles of gravel. Early dirt was spectacular as you can see riding up to The Great Stupa of Dharmakaya. What a wonderful tribute to Buddha! Near the Pawnee the dry Colorado conditions resulted in deep sandy washboard. Unlike last year, team was all business, pushing through at slow speeds. Glad we put wider tires on.

"Chez Lisa stop, after a wonderful aisianesqe noodle dinner and many other carb sources, we napped a bit interrupted frequently by Lola the Doberman Pinscher licking our ears! Chez Grace stop welcomed team Lark Bunting for another brief nap. Picture below of teams before we separated on our final 2 hours."

9 starters and 8 finishers rode the Stove Prairie 200k. We postponed this brevet one day because of snow on Friday. John reports:

"Pleasant temperatures at the start on Sunday validated waiting a day to ride. Riders had a nice tailwind from the start through the ascent to Stove Prairie, making for fast times up Poudre Canyon. Riders were also treated to a well-placed lemonade stand at the top of the Stove Prairie climb. There were slight headwinds on the return, depending on where riders were, but overall it was one of the nicest editions of Stove Prairie."

"This may have been one of the biggest turnouts yet for the Kersey Kick—definitely up there. The day couldn’t have been better: beautiful weather, light winds, and, as always, great company.

"It was also a day to celebrate some incredible achievements. Jim Roselle completed his first 200 km brevet — huge congratulations, Jim! And Michael Turek reached an extraordinary milestone, earning the Ultra R-12 award after completing 120 months of 200+ km brevets.

Most pleasant February conditions for a ride in recent memory ... sorry, skiers. Riders enjoyed perfect conditions on this Cider Sally. With Kevin setting PRs and KOMs throughout the course, this left the remaining six to meander over to Lyons, traverse quickly to Erie with a nice tailwind, along with a required stop at old mine cider and sally into Louisville.

15 starters and 14 finishers rode the Bo-Lar Boogie 200k. Mike Turek reports:

"Climbing makes you stronger, Winds just make you meaner."

"Kevin and Mark disappeared west; the rest of us paced chatted leisurely cycling over the US-36 bike path towards Lyons. Matt received a call in Lyons, a brush fire in Rocky Flats threatened their house, so he had to head home. Great news later that all was ok. Shortly after Lyons, the winds really picked up. Heading west on CR12 we were clocking 9mph as a group. It was nice to turn north, but we still were buffeted all the way to Masonville. Concerns were raised about Kevin’s disc wheel and Debbie pushing through solo but both made it through safely. After a Leisurely lunch stop at Sandy’s (great Ham, Egg and Cheese sandwiches and Burritos in the warmer)… we experienced 'the reward' - coasting at 26mph to Johnstown. I was thinking of a re-route to Kersey to finish 200k there “for safety reasons”. :-) . At Johnstown, Vern jokingly predicted the winds would shift and die as we headed back…. Strangely he was correct. Turning right on 34 was rather pleasant…almost as pleasant as the Tahitian vanilla ice cream I enjoyed in Hygiene. (Sorry guys, I know it cost our group a sub 9hr time…it was worth it). "Wonderful to see Mark Lowe rejoining us for a Brevet after 2 years. Welcome back Mark :-)."

So nice to see a new face, Jake, on our ride…and a couple of folks who were out on injury, Corinne and Dave. It was a reunion for 4 of 5 Original Lanternes Rouge 2015 Flèche members… too bad Pascal is suffering in miserable 70F weather in Marin County with SF Randos or we would have been complete. "Two groups formed just north of Hygiene, (perhaps it was the large group of fast cyclists from Boulder a few of us decided to follow for about 100 feet)… anyway, we rolled north on familiar roads, occasionally detouring for some new scenery. We thought we were fast, but alas it was a tailwind which greeted us as a headwind on the return. One nice part of out and backs is catching site of the other group coming the other way. We also had a John Lee sighting but didn’t snap a picture in time. "The usual Gang of Loveland Elk were completely unbothered by our passing, even posing here for an upclose picture. The rest of the ride home with slight detours for scenery, was uneventful, except for Dave’s foray into single speed, which delighted Beverly as she hung on his wheel. A few of us gathered at Fritz for a post ride celebration, regaling the new kid of PBP stories and rides past."

Brightest Boone Boondoggle Ever!

4 starters and 4 finishers rode the Boone Boondoggle 200k. Vernon reports: "It was 20F when we started, got up to a forcasted hight of 35F and was 31F when we finished. Sunny all day. Ate at Carl's Jr in La Junta for out first at 62 miles. Then a brief stop in Ordway. Wind as usual for Colorado. We had a good time and managed to start warm."

Thanks to Vernon Smith for leading!
