2016 Stanford Bicycling STAGE 5: Guanella Pass (Fall Aspen Viewing Ride)

All routes are on paved or packed gravel/dirt roads with normal automobile traffic suitable for riding on road bikes with narrow tires.  (A mountain bike or cyclo-cross bike is not required).  It is highly recommended that all participants be at least 16 years of age and have ample experience riding on roads with narrow shoulders. 

These are not supported rides, just social RMSA events.  Riders need to bring their own equipment, flat repair kit, food, water, and clothing.  Rides are arranged where water and food is available along the route, if necessary, and bathroom facilities may be available.  We will have a leader for each course who is familiar with the roads and cycling terrain, and who will make sure that all riders know where to turn and don’t get dropped from the ride.  

Special Notes:  RMSA, the Stanford Alumni Association, Stanford University, and the ride hosts have no legal liability for injury to a rider or damage to their equipment.  All participants are expected to ride a route that is appropriate to their skill level.  (We are happy to provide guidance and suggestions.)

I-70 west to Route 103 exit (road to Mt. Evans) at Idaho Springs.  The Shell Gas Station is just north of the freeway exit.
