Centopassi Motomarathon June 25-28, 2010

This ride, named after the famous Centopassi annual endurance ride in Italy, will cover some of the most significant sport-touring roads in Colorado, paying special attention to the highest mountain passes, scenic canyons and remote high plateaus. While "Centopassi" means “100 passes" in Italian, we won't actually ride 100 passes, though it might feel like it while averaging 400 miles/day for four days.

The ride starts and ends in Boulder (on Friday, June 25th and Monday, June 28th, respectively) at:

Pizzeria Basta (within the Peloton Condominiums)
3601 Arapahoe Avenue
Boulder, CO 80303

Registration begins, and routes for Day One will be handed out, at 7:30 p.m. the Thursday night before (June 24th) and Friday morning at 7:30 a.m. This ride will go town-to-town, with routes handed out at 7:30 p.m. the night before, and optional riders' meetings at 7:30 a.m. each morning, at the following locations:

Please contact each hotel and make your own reservations ASAP. They may be filled up by now but you can search Google for other nearby hotels in each town. You are responsible for your own accommodations, transportation and equipment. If you need a hotel in Boulder for Thursday night and/or Monday night, the closest is the Boulder Courtyard (303-440-4700). There is also the historic Boulderado downtown (303-442-4344) and the Millennium Harvest House (303-443-3850).

Our generous sponsors, Ducati North America, Aerostich and Wolfman, have provided awards to be distributed by a drawing for those riders who finish all checkpoints.
