Peddle for Peace People!

I am getting really excited about the upcoming Peace Ride which will take place out of Durango this August. It will be an amazing tour along one of the 10 most scenic routes in the country! It's a 4-day, 238-mile tour along the entire San Juan Skyway loop. Think sweeping vistas, epic climbs topping 10,000 feet (okay, this part is a little scary for a flatlander like me, that's why we asked Olympic rider and coach, Colby Pearce, to design the training schedule for us!), and sweet stretches of downhill (translation: cycling heaven). It begins and ends in historic Durango, with overnight stops at the hot springs of Ouray (OMG, that will feel SO good after a day in the saddle climbing a few thousand feet), the legendary town of Telluride, and the grounds of the Sophia Peace Center in Dolores. The ride is eco-friendly and benefits non-profit and peace workers. This is a fully supported tour with an affordable entry fee, and is limited to 500 cyclists. So register early (by June 8th will save you $100) and let your peace-loving friends know about it! Read more, and see the map and elevation profile, at ThePeaceRide.com
