A group rolling start begins the day as you head towards Golden riding through downtown Denver and then tackling Lookout Mountain, Squaw Pass and Berthoud Pass.

Fully supported and personalized with a limited field of riders. The event wraps up in Winter Park Resort with an achievement celebration.
