Tour De Colorado

Mountain Biking the Colorado Trail

Recently, Kristin and I have made it a goal to ride the Colorado Trail (CoT) in its entirety.  The CoT runs from Denver to Durango covering nearly 500 miles with an elevation change of approximately 90,000' and a highpoint of 13,200' 

   
Riding the CoT in its entirety:

The Colorado Trail is divided into 28 segments.  Our plan is to ride each of the 28 segments separately or in combination with other singletrack sections branching off the CoT to allow for loops versus the more common out and back format.
