This ride explores the less developed rural areas west of Telluride.  As the cost of living drops, so do the hills. 

A good tempo, high mileage ride, you head “Down Valley” and take a left at Placerville.  Great “Canyon” style riding shall you enjoy all the way to Norwood (see description).  Continue west young man and after passing through a couple of small town, you reach your destination in the form of the booming metropolis of Naturita.

Bring plenty of food, water and friends to keep you company along the way as it tends to get lonely out there and the depleted mind will play tricks on you.
