What is the weather going to be like?

August weather in the mountains of Colorado is generally warm and sunny. But there is always a chance of afternoon thunderstorms in the mountains, and even snow at the highest elevations. Our best advice is to be prepared for changing weather conditions. Here are some weather statistics for August:

City	Av. High	Av. Low	Days with Measurable Rain
Aspen	77	43	11

Where do we meet at the start of the trip?

We meet in downtown Aspen, at the Mountain Chalet. This is also where we stay for the first two nights of the tour.

How do I get to the start?

1. You can fly directly into Aspen Airport. Round trip airfare is about $200 as of January, 2007. We will drive your bike and gear round trip from Palo Alto, so you won't have to fly with your bike.

2. You can drive to Aspen, which takes two long days. The halfway point is Ely, Nevada. if you do drive, you can leave your car at the Aspen Airport during the tour, and we will return you to your car after the finish.

3. You can take Amtrak from Emeryville to Glenwood Springs, which takes two days.

Where does the trip end?

The tour officially ends in Idaho Springs. If you need a ride back to Aspen, you can catch a ride in the van. If you need help getting somewhere else, let us know.

What should I bring?
