Routes / Berthoud Alternate Loop

« on: June 05, 2018, 01:18:47 pm »

Hello All!

I'm planning a tour this summer using the loop created by the Berthoud Pass Alternate on the Great Parks South route. I'd begin in Idaho Springs, ride north to Estes Park, west (up, over, and down) to Granby, then south using the alternate and finishing in Idaho Springs.

Anyone done this route? I live in New Jersey, not exactly a hotbed of high altitude mountain cycling training. I'm confident I can get the leg fitness for the massive climb up and over the continental divide, but not sure about the lungs.

I'm also curious about weather and camping. Thoughts? Tips? Warnings? Hoping to do the 195 mile loop in five days, camping every night.

Thanks in advance!

I am looking for resources for route planning in England. Specifically, London to York. Any online or print resources that you could suggest would be most helpful.

Thanks!

Routes / Michigan - Monroe to Muskegon

I have to do some digging, but I might have an old MS150 route from Jackson to Grand Rapids that would go through East Lansing. About 75 miles each day. Would this be helpful?
