Hi everyone. I am planning on being in Telluride pretty early and am begining to plan out a bit of a bike tour for my time before the festival begins.
I would love it if anyone wanted to join in on any of this. The pace will be easy and miles not too high...and top notch sceneary.
I will be leaving somewhere around the eighth of June from Telluride for this loop, and hope to be back by the Saturday or Sunday before the fest to hopefully get some town park tixs...
The loop will be: Teluride-Ouray, Ouray-Silverton, Silverton-Durango, Durango-Dolores-Rico, Rico-Telluride. So it could be done in 5 days with the longest section being under 50 miles.
Here is a google map link (it is a long link), it should be easy to camp along the way for sure, hot springs too.
