On July 30, 2012, Jennifer Wolfson starts riding the Colorado Trail Race on her little Trek Paragon 29'er hardtail. Her 470 Mile journey from Denver to Durango will detour around 6 wilderness areas, climb 13,000' passes, and cover 65,000' of ascents. The fastest times for the massive race are just a hair more than 4 days, where racers ride straight through with very little sleep. Hopefully, Wolfson will take care of herself on this epic adventure and come home in one piece after a fun filled finish in Durango.The race is a unique format; a self timed individual time trial, no entry fee, no pre-arranged support, no prize money, no registration. "all that is provided is a route description, a suggested start time, and a list of results."
Wolfson hopes to finish the race in roughly two weeks.
Her bike is fully loaded with Revelade bags on her frame, seatpost, handlebars, and just about everywhere you can hang some gear.
