"SUMMIT COUNTY — With all the hoopla over the annual Ride the Rockies and the new USA Pro Cycling Challenge, Colorado’s eastern plains may have been feeling a little left out of the cycling buzz.
But that will all change this fall, when the inaugural Pedal The Plains ride will celebrate the agricultural roots and frontier heritage of the Colorado Eastern Plains, according to Gov. John Hickenlooper, who announced the event this week in Denver.
The tour of the plains is a ride designed for riders of all speeds and sizes, Hickenlooper said.
The three-day ride will cover between 30 to 100 miles every day, stopping in multiple towns throughout each day and ending in a new host community each evening. Riders will pedal between entertainment and festivities, eat meals made with local produce, and stay in accommodations ranging from a tent to a bed and breakfast.
The ride is co-sponsored by Fort Morgan-based Viaero Wireless and the Denver Post...."
