I'll be extremely happy to be at this ride start! ... time to begin working some hills. This ride was created by Jack Steffens, a great ride leader and hill (and dog) trainer who passed too soon. This ride has a B/B+ rating due to the effort but will probably end up with a B pace. We only climb ~1650 feet with this ride.

Parking lot on Greeley.  Target cruise speed is 17 but will drop to 15 if needed for slowest rider.  One brief breather at 15 miles.  While there is some scenery on the Idle Hour Loop, the ride is designed with long straighs and minimal turns to maintain the crusing speed.
