Welcome to 170ish miles of raw back country riding from ‘Bonedale to CB and back. Huge Kudos to the RFV folks for the help with this. This route pieces together a seriously epic loop around some of the most beautiful mountains in all of Colorado.

Expect long climbs, insane descents, and widely varied terrain. The landscape is big. Real Big. It’s also exposed. There’s not a lot of free miles in here.

This is a test of fitness, navigation, judgment, and grit. Mechanical know-how matters. Navigation matters. Your ability to keep moving when everything hurts matters. No one is around to bail you out. Route notes on the Field Notes page. Check ‘em out.
