Part 1: Morrison to Bergen Park (1hr 25min) Your epic journey begins in historic Morrison, Colorado, where the foothills of the Rockies beckon. As you warm up through the towering red sandstone formations of Red Rocks, the real challenge emerges – intense hill repeat intervals designed to build your explosive power and mental fortitude. These strategic bursts of effort prepare you for the demanding Floyd Hill climb ahead. Each pedal stroke brings you closer to Bergen Park, the gateway to Colorado’s high country, where the thin air begins to whisper of the challenges that await in the higher elevations.
Part 2: The Climb to Mestaa’Ėhehe Pass (1hr 54min) Now the real mountain climbing begins. This relentless ascent to 10,000 feet demands everything you’ve got as you tackle nearly 3,000 feet of elevation gain. The sustained climb to Mestaa’Ėhehe Pass (formerly Squaw Pass) is where you’ll discover your true climbing potential. Your legs will burn and your lungs will hunger for oxygen, but each mile builds crucial climbing strength and pushes your VO2 max to new heights. The reward? Arriving at Echo Lake, your basecamp for the final push to the summit, with jaw-dropping views of the alpine wilderness that surrounds you.
Part 3: Summit Push with Pro Cyclist Kasey Clark (2hr 05min) The final challenge awaits – a breathtaking climb of 4,000 vertical feet to one of Colorado’s most iconic summits. Pro cyclist Kasey Clark joins as your guide, sharing invaluable insights from her racing career and offering a unique perspective on women’s cycling. This isn’t just about physical endurance; it’s about mastering the mental game. Strategic rest intervals give you time to absorb the incredible alpine views while preparing for the next push. As the air grows thinner and the summit draws closer, Kasey’s expert coaching and encouragement guide you through those crucial moments when your body wants to quit but your spirit drives you forward.
