 4). They're baaack! **Los Cinco Diablos**...or otherwise known as the **Bo
 ulder Fearsome Five** is the nation's toughest century ride. Featuring 16\
 ,000+ feet of steep climbing\, several dirt/gravel sections\, and climbs r
 eaching 8000+ feet in elevation\, the Boulder Fearsome Five is truly the n
 ation's most *challenging* cycling century. The climbs featured in this ev
 ent are truly Boulder County's most "devilish" climbs...Flagstaff Mountain
  Road\, Magnolia Road\, Sugarloaf Road\, Sunshine Canyon/Fourmile Canyon l
 oop\, and the SuperJames. In fact\, there's probably not many places in th
 e world where you can find as many challenging road cycling climbs within 
 such close proximity to each other as in Boulder! The primary goal of this
  ride is to *safely* complete as many of Boulder County's most challenging
  climbs as possible. This club event is not a race. It is an opportunity t
 o spend a fun\, challenging day on the bike with their fellow RMCC friends
 . But kudos to everyone who can successfully complete the course! Time to 
 dust off those climbing legs! **2026 Boulder Fearsome Five course:** https
