Date: July 30, 2005 Saturday

After a 3-year retirement, this ride is back this year by popular demand (President's Ride 2000, Twist and Turn Run in 2001, The "Twister" Run in 2002). On this 168-mile run, all but aproximately 10 miles are "twisties" through some of the most beautiful canyons and passes in Colorado. We have 2 great meals planned while on this ride. Breakfast in Nederland at the Pioneer Inn and lunch at a yet-to-be-announced eatery or possibly a really good ice cream parlor with home-made ice cream with all the trimmings. The ride never gets more than 35 miles from Denver but will encompass some of the best scenery and riding terrain around. This will be a relaxed ride with a little something for everybody. This is the type of ride that you can jump out of to run an errand or join up at any time during the ride since we will never be far from Denver and we will have a detailed trip plan available upon request. Come out and enjoy the day.
