seems that there are two avenues of thought in deciding whether to ride
Tevis or not.
To get to the Tevis from my house I have to drive through the Rockie
Mountains. We started out twice. We had every intention of going on to
the Tevis in '96 after I did the ROC and my brave wife was going to do
her first 100. Utah was so nice, the country so beautiful, remote and
peaceful that we stayed did a ride there, moved on back to CO and did
Rich Childs wonderful High Country ride near one of my favorite spots
on the face of the earth in Colorado, did the Gunninson ride (in
Gunninson, CO) and headed home. In '97 we headed out to Bolder - I was
working out of Denver that summer. We had all the intentions of going
to the Tevis. But alas - I just could not see leaving the spectacular
Rockies - and we didn't. So for me - it is the simple fact I can't get
passed the Rockies ;-) .
The Sierras are o'kay but they are not the Colorado Rockies - not even
close.
