So, I registered for the CO Tour de Cure 3 days ago because I just couldn’t wait any longer for the maps, I wanted to get registered and know that I was riding for sure.
My concern with not having the maps was that I needed to verify the base elevation and the hills and make sure that I could handle it. I was thankful to see that the elevation is about the same as here in NM where I’ve been training and that the hills for the 30 mile ride aren’t too bad. I’m fairly sure that I can handle the ride.
What I really appreciate about the maps provided for the CO Tour de Cure is that there were also elevation and grade graphs provided. This is different from the SoCal Tour de Cure where we only had the route maps provided.
If you’re curious to see what route I’ll be riding, you can check it out at the Colorado Tour de Cure site. If you’re confused by the 50k, don’t be, it’s approximately 30 miles. Nothing I can’t handle ;P
