Check this out. I was reading the comments from the ride this year on the FB page, and here is what one of the riders encountered
Tim Stechert
An incredible ride and an incredible day. Once again you guys did a great job to bring it all together. An thanks so much to every one of the volunteers and law enforcement. I had a personal first on this ride unrelated to bicycling. On the steep descent to the South Platte, I rounded a curve to find a very large mountain lion crossing in front of me at full speed. What a treat! Did you guys arrange for that too?
and thanks to one of the organizers that gave my husband a ride home last night when he got caught out in the thunderstorms. He had ridden down Foxton to the river and was about half way back up when he took cover under a tree to wait for the worst of it to pass, but it kinda stalled. It was getting dark because of the clouds (about 7). They put the bike in the back of the truck and he gave him a ride all the way to the house and a T-Shirt to boot! Meanwhile I was driving down Foxton to see if I could find him as it was just about dark and raining and here he was safely home.
