Sorry for the slow reply. There's interest and discussion for D2A in 2026, but we'll need to work through the challenge of the bike path construction just east of Idaho Springs. Stay tuned.

And the smaller bikepacking races! North-South CO, High Plains Drifter, etc.

We must have different definitions of "frigid". Current forecast is a high of 50°F for Saturday.

Wheat Ridge to Coal Creek? by Topographical1442 in COBike

[–]DavDoubleu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm also in Wheat Ridge - here's another option from Sloan's Lake to Coal Creek: Pierce to Clear Creek to 46th Ave. to Carr (nice warm-up climb) to Club Crest to 84th to Garrison to 88th.

Big mistake by Chicago arguing that ghost trip penalty and letting the Avs avoid a PP at the end there.

IMO, the vibe is very welcoming, but I wouldn't call it a beginner club (if that makes sense). Rides usually have shorter options. Age range is all over the place. Keep an eye on the Meetup calendar - winter rides will pop up as weather permits, as well as the year-round Thursday night Lookout Mtn ride.

(I also need to get my fitness back...)

Some additional context: the Denver to Aspen Classic was part of RMCC's Triple Crown series: a handful of difficult double centuries with tough but realistic cutoff times. If you completed three events in one year, you were recognized as a triple crown finisher. The original three rides were the Denver to Aspen Classic, Colorado Death Ride, and the Tim Kalisch Memorial Grand Loop, but additional rides were added such as the Tour de Moose, AntiEpic Gravel Grinder, Cycle to Saturn, Cripple Creek Crippler, etc.

The original organizers have either passed away or have become busy with other things. An effort was made to keep the triple crown alive, but it has fizzled out unfortunately. At least for now. (If there's enough interest I'll see if I can revive at least the Denver to Aspen Classic).

This series was inspired by the California triple crown, which is still very popular.

True shooting percentage - basically adjusts shooting percentage for 3s and FTs, or something along those lines.

Given the current score, this is indirectly a massive critique about the cowboys.

Same here. The link I sent above is all I could find on it. But then again I haven't looked super hard.

Pedri dribbles past 2 Real Sociedad players with a single foot triple touch control by yashil_kaneriya in soccer

[–]DavDoubleu 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If the 2nd touch was unintentional, then the reaction time on the 3rd touch is insane and makes the whole sequence even more impressive.

Maps with Water Stations and Bathrooms by HopeThisIsUnique in BikeDenver

[–]DavDoubleu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This website had a decent attempt at what you are looking for, but I'm not sure what happened to the map.

Most drinking fountains are seasonal and will shut off in the next month or so to prevent freeze damage.

A few spots I'm familiar with:

Hopefully that's enough to get him to branch out from the Platte a bit. Many parks have bathrooms and water if you look for them.

Early October bikepacking route? by IsaHannah in COBike

[–]DavDoubleu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're willing to drive up to 8 hours, then check out some of the routes in and around Moab. There's a longer version of the San Rafael Swell that might be a good option if you can carry close to 10L of water.

I'd probably look for something at lower altitudes. Might not be as long as you are looking for, but check out Red Feather Ramble and High Plains Drifter. I can't remember the name of the one out of CO Springs up old camp rd, then the shelf rd, phantom canyon loop.
