About this ride
The **Never Summer Mountain Adventure** is a 3-day mixed-terrain cycling tour across northern Colorado, including the Never Summer Range, North Park, Park Range, Yampa Valley, Gore Range, Kremmling Valley, and Fraser Valley.
**Stages:**
**Stage 1:** Fraser to Walden through the Fraser Valley, Never Summer Range, including Stillwater Pass, Willow Creek Pass, Route CR 27/25, and North Park: ridewithgps.com/routes/53641478
**Stage 2:** Walden to Oak Creek through the Park Range, including Buffalo Pass, Streamboat Springs, and the Yampa Valley:
ridewithgps.com/routes/53641603
**Stage 3:** Oak Creek to Fraser over Lynx Pass, the Gore Range, Radium recreation area, and Kremmling Valley: ridewithgps.com/routes/53641815
*The third stage is the most challenging day due to the length and volume of climbing. However, it is a beautiful, rewarding stage with constantly changing scenery.*
**Date/Time:** Friday, July 10 - Sunday, July 12, 2026. Meet at 8:00 AM. Wheels roll at 8:30 AM.
**Start/End location:** Safeway, Fraser, CO. Overnight parking is allowed at this location.
**Logistics and lodging:** This is a "credit card" tour. We will plan to stay in motels and get dinner in restaurants each evening; however, participants can camp if they are interested in doing that. Participants are responsible for setting up their own lodging. Please use this Meet-up page to coordinate motel sharing. *Please book your lodging early as there are limited lodging options, especially in Oak Creek.* Recommended lodging:
1. **Walden, Friday, July 10:** Antlers Inn. Other options available.
2. **Oak Creek, Saturday, July 11:** The Lodges of Oak Creek
**Recommended tire size:** 40 mm to 50 mm
**Support:**
1. This tour is entirely unsupported and is **not** for novice bikepackers. You are responsible for you! Your bike needs to be in excellent working condition (e.g., new tires, fresh sealant, new chain). Participants need to be self-sufficient at fixing basic repairs.
2. Participants can self-support at convenience stores and restaurants along the course. Participants need to carry other supplies with them, including food/water, clothing, rain gear, bike tools, toiletries, cables/chargers, and lights. A Camel back is encouraged. Participants are also encouraged to carry a small, portable water filter.
**RMCC membership:** Club membership is required to participate in this tour.
**Weather:** We are at the mercy of the weather gods. If, by chance, the weather forecast is calling for severe weather, we would cancel the tour. Please make sure that your motels are cancelable and refundable.
