June is Bike Month here! We like to focus on the joy that bicycling brings! Here's a write up from one of our Bike Jeffco board members about a couple of guys who are legends in the Front Range area!

Two Guys Who Love to Ride

We all love to ride our bikes in the hills of the front range, but these two guys take it to another level. Gaspar Terrana and David Knudsen thrive on long epic rides. They cycle from their homes in the Denver area and head west into the mountains looking for the steepest climbs and highest passes. This spring they have been challenging themselves by riding to elevations where the road is still covered in snow. Last spring their first summit of Mt. Evans was in early June and the last was in October. They both completed 2022 with over 14,000 miles and 1.2 million feet of climbing.
Gaspar’s typical ride begins early in the morning and ends around dinner time, typically between 100 and 150 miles and 8 to 10 hours in the saddle. Gaspar has a rule, never put your bike in a car! Last year he rode 180 miles to Salida so the next day he could ride the Salida 76-mike gravel bike race.
David posted 394 rides last year on Strava, including countless indoor rides on Zwift. David and Gaspar created a ride they call “Fourteening a 14er,” meaning they ride from their doorsteps to the top of Mt. Evans and then continue to ride until they each have climbed a total of 14,000 feet and have ridden 140 miles.
The most remarkable thing about these two, other than their strength, is the passion and exuberence they have for the sport. When asked “why do you ride to such extremes?”

Gaspar: “My riding is enjoyable and feeds positive emotions which leads to a positive loop – the more riding, the better I feel.”

David : “There is nothing like a sustained climb on a bike, and the peace and serenity of the mountains is intoxicating.”

Many friends have enjoyed the company of Gaspar and David on long rides, but very few can complete an entire epic ride.

That is such a great video! Pups of all kinds get soooo excited when they get a "trick" mastered! I need to borrow that puppy for my next long putt.
