We know it is not possible to always do the full week of Ride The Rockies so this year we have provided the option to do just one day - The Steamboat Loop.
It is a great loop that really showcases Yampa River Valley as well as providing some of the challenges that is part of every Ride The Rockies routes. This loop is the same loop as Stage 1 of the 2015 USA Pro Challenge except the direction is changed. The terrain is rolling along the route but riders will hit the "Three Witches," a series of hills on the southeast corner of the trail on Twentymile Road near Oak Creek. This will provide some challenge but fun. Oak Creek Canyon will provide the open valley meadows, with mostly flat, mostly straight highway to the south. Two well stocked aid stations with
Skratch Labs hydration and Steamboat based
Honey Stinger waffles, plus food vendors to supplement.
At the Finish you will be greeted by a community meal, shower trucks, Odell Beer and some great entertainment so you can hang out and enjoy. One Day Riders are welcome to enjoy outdoor or indoor camping facilities so they can travel to Steamboat on Monday and enjoy the festivities on Tuesday without worrying about a long drive back home. Be part of Ride The Rockies.
