Spectrum / Cycle tours: The cycle tour operator Away with the Champs has something very special on offer for the coming autumn – together with Jan Ullrich we are going to the Southwest of the USA, more precisely to the legendary Rocky Mountains. It starts on September 05th in the famous ski resort of Aspen and ends eleven days later on September 15th in Colorado Springs.
The Rocky Mountains are a myth and undoubtedly one of the most famous mountain ranges in the world. The red rock formations are not only beautiful to look at, but also provide the perfect backdrop for a great bike ride. If you really want to experience this scenario for yourself, you will have the perfect opportunity in September: on eleven days, you will go on road bikes and mountain bikes from the ski resort of Aspen through the foothills of the Rockies to Colorado Springs. Jan Ullrich, who knows the area very well and certainly has one or two anecdotes ready, will also be there.
Individuality is very important on the trip: It is important to the guys from Away with the Champs that every participant feels comfortable, is physically challenged but not overwhelmed. That is why there are several different routes for different performance levels to choose from every day. Groups of a maximum of four drivers are each accompanied by a guide - the total number of participants is limited to twelve in order to be able to respond to each individual as best as possible.
The well-being of the participants is also taken care of: an escort vehicle will follow the groups on every kilometer, offer technical service or even a shuttle to the next stage location if the thighs are at the end. If you don't have the time to ride every eleven days or if eleven days on the bike are simply too much, you also have the option of getting off in Durango after six days. However, if you don't ride the entire distance, you're missing out: every evening, luxury hotels or authentic mountain huts await to give your tired legs the rest they need and to talk about the tour or God and the world over a drink or two.
