Per the 305:

32.8 miles
5035ft of climbing
8:50:30 total
4:52:53 ride time

It's a hard ride. A lot of the climbing is technical rocky ascents. The descents aren't a breeze, either. Matt from ie bikes described Noble as "San Juan on steroids". The full Tour de Noble is on a different level It is a GREAT ride, though, and I hope everyone gets to experience it at some point! But, it does start out around 3500ft and climbs up to nearly 5900ft.

Thanks for a great rr. I guess I got to hit this one again. I've only shuttled it and I think that took something away from it.

Thumbs up
What an awesome way to experience Noble for the first time.. Downright amazing ride at all points. It was good meeting so many new people (although I've already forgotten half your names ).

Thanks for organizing it, and making sure us at the back of the pack didn't get left behind or lost.

Long rides far away from home are easier to do on Saturdays. That way you can play all day and drive home late without worrying about work on Monday .

We have another friend who works at a bike shop and every once in a while, we plan a DH shuttle day on Sunday so he can come with. I feel your pain........

I got out of bed at 8:30 yesterday, and other than cleaning house, did nothing all day.

Unfortunately I have to work on Monday's, so being totally out of it isn't an option We prefer doing the longer more difficult rides on Saturdays.

Sorry peeps...
