Its in the works for this year. Along with Dedisse and Bergen. Expecting around 75 miles with Chimney. You'll be in the loop.

that route doesn't appear to have enough hike-a-bike for your typical epics.

Added on more of Bear Creek Lake park, Dedisse (got lost so not a lot of it). Bergen Peak and Genesee Park (dirt road). Unfortunately gave up in the rain just outside of Golden so not sure what the full mileage & elevation gain would be. Incomplete, this was 58.8 miles and 8,176 feet of elevation gain. Unhappy with some of the route - need to find a better way from Bergen Peak to Chimney.

Right on! Liking what you did there. I did most of the normal monster this morning. Started at 4:30am as my wife had a gig in Denver at 10:30 and I needed to be home for the kids. Got right at 40 miles myself and home by 9:45am. Also had a front shifter blow up on me while climbing Grapevine and it plagued me the rest of the ride.
A few notes.
Was there a reason you skipped 3 Sisters? That descent to Dedise from Sisters is soo fun. I also plan on adding Evergreen Mtn to it when I do it. There is no better legal way I can think of from Bergen to Chimney Gulch. Road is a given for tying the parks together.

LOL - 4:30 am start - nice.
I couldn't find 3 sisters - I wasn't even sure I rode Dedisse until I looked at the route after. I haven't ridden 3 sisters or Bergen Peak before and was more focused on Bergen as it looked like a kick-ass climb right in the middle of the route (and it was - my legs were screaming on some of the higher sections). (I was also being a little conservative so's not to get completely lost) My guess is that including 3 sisters and Bergen and completing the route will put us over 10,000 feet in elevation gain - one of my goals for this ride.

Hey RMAC, I did this route today to make it up to 65 miles and about 9700 ft of climbing. I'll be doing the Evergreen thing soon!

Excellent. I like it.
I was wondering about including NTM and STM. I wouldn't have guessed they would have added so much elevation gain - nice. Tricky working across to GM from STM?
Edit: nice job down Chimney - you were flying.

Looking forward to whoever does the first Morrison Monster extended overnight camping ride.
