This route has it all: great scenery, big climbs, fast downhills and gentle rolling hills. You'll have your choice of adventures -- a 49-miler or a 56-miler. The significant climbing for both routes comes before the decision point at Mile 35.

Both include an extended, challenging mountain climb that will only be fun (and safe) for those who have been riding hills all summer.

Both routes are based on the classic Knock Knock Knockin’ on the President's Door. But we'll skip the president’s part and Park Central. You're welcome.

Both routes also include an optional 2-mile out and back around Mile 21 to see fabulous sunflowers. If you hate sunflowers and don't want to do the out and back, your ride will be two miles shorter and waaay less fabulous.

Shorter Route 49.2 miles · +3,080 ft / -3,080 ft (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/56824889)

With the Big Slide: 56.3 miles · +3,480 ft / -3,479 ft ( https://ridewithgps.com/routes/56825367 )

(I’ll probably do the longer route, so I can do the Big Slide.)

PLEASE COME WITH ROUTE LOADED ON A NAVIGATION DEVICE.

ABOUT ROLL WITH RITA RIDES: This ride is for fast-end CC riders. The idea is for the group to stay together at the advertised pace. Please - no pace pushing. My philosophy is: "It's supposed to be fun."
