hell of the west

Grand Junction is too far away for me to attend a one day ride. But, if I were anywhere near there the first weekend in October, I think I would do this ride. The Icon Lasik Tour Of The Moon, Hell Of the West Cycling Classic. It's a mouthful, but this ride through the Colorado National Monument looks like a lot of fun. The Tour Of The Moon was made famous in the 1980's Coors Classic bicycle race. It was also featured in the Kevin Costner movie, American Flyers, as part of the Hell Of The West bike race. Today it was announced that Tom Danielson will join the 2,000 registrants in this inaugural ride.
