Check it out. I am super excited about the new route and needed to get our previous route denied. It forced me to rethink the route and came up with a cool idea. Should have maps to you guys soon!

I watched the video and now I am curious as to what you mean by 'plucky climbs'. I am guessing short and steep?

Any word on getting these maps out? We are getting into serious training season and I am sure IM Boulder athletes would like to know/see the course.

Right now we are supposed to see the rain stop and start to warm up a bit (not much). SO right now my plan is to bundle up and be there. I hope others do as well, because i will want to draft off of them and stay warm :)

Thanks Dave. As someone who rides those roads throughout the year I think this is a really good IM bike course. The 5,000 feet of gain is perfect and the climbs back to the west are going to add that extra piece that people were looking for after last year. Lots of people probably don't know the work that went into getting this accomplished, but you finished with a course that is going to be legitimately challenging and a lot of fun, not to mention much more spectator-friendly. Well done. See you out there.

DC,

Anyway we can get a .gpx of the course for BestBikeSplit. It is one of our most popular requests.
