Episode 195: The Inside Scoop on Ride the Rockies Bicycle Tour

On this episode AP and Murph caught up with Jason Sumner from the Ride the Rockies team who is a long time cyclist and a Colorado Native living in Crested Butte. He is a journalist and has authored the book: 75 Classic Rides Colorado. Ride the Rockies, a multi day bicycle tour that explores communities in Colorado, has many similarities to RAGBRAI and has the history to prove it. Back in 1985, Claire Martin, a Denver Post reporter, came to Iowa to ride RAGBRAI and was hooked. She went back to Colorado and pitched the idea to the Denver Post. A year later, Ride the Rockies was born! Jason is going to tell us more about Ride the Rockies. To learn more, go to www.ridetherockies.com Have a topic for a future episode?
