The Slumgullion Tour

As an Angletech customer you can join us for a 4-day bike trip in the Colorado Rockies we call the Slumgullion Tour, named after 11,200 ft Slumgullion Pass. John Cunningham invited me way back on that first year. I had 14 miles of "training" under my belt (too many working hours), and headed off for 263 miles of pacing myself to finish on my V Rex. It was a great experience, John asked if I would organize it the next year, and the rest is history. 25 Angletech customers, a SAG wagon, great food, and killer scenery. Cell phones don't work, so you ride out of civilization for just enough time to forget the every day world. The stories that happen are as varied as the people. Cats falling out of the ceiling in the Saguache Creek Lodge, a dog jumping out of a Dodge Ram pickup and over the top of a couple on their Screamer, a military woman saluting the Alfred Packer Memorial on the way into Lake City, the always stunning food at the Creede Hotel, the helmet cam recording of John Orlowski descending Slumgullion Pass, the frozen corpse in the walk in freezer in Saguache, and Steve Hoke playing his violin at the top of Spring Creek pass as Bob from Kansas descends away……
