GRAND JUNCTION — For the 2,000 cyclists pouring into Grand Junction from around the country and the world this weekend, 25 is the number to celebrate. And 542.5 is the number to fear.
The 25th anniversary of Ride the Rockies will take cyclists on the longest, hardest ride of that quarter century. Over 542.5 miles stretching from Grand Junction to Salida, riders will climb the legendarily tough Grand Mesa, grind up three San Juan Mountain passes in a day and cruise the Colorado National Monument's squiggle of blacktop that was immortalized in the cycling classic "American Flyers."
