4th Annual Moots Ranch Rally in the books! Hats off to the fine folks at Moots Cycles who open their doors and put on this great event in beautiful Routt County, Colorado. I was able to take delivery of a new Routt 45 and have its inaugural ride be on the pristine dirt roads in Northwest Colorado!
Riders from two Moots dealers, District Bicycles out of Stillwater, OK and Studio Velo, from Mill Valley, CA made the trek to Steamboat for some gravel riding that culminated in the Ranch Rally on Saturday. Rapha Festive 500 winner Ruth Cousins came all the way from Wales, UK to pick up her new custom built Routt.
Here is a link to the Moots Ranch Rally Roundup. Head over to Bobby Wintle's unlearnpavement site for a great write-up and some really awesome photos. The first photo below was taken by Bobby and sums up the beautiful and desolate Routt County roads.
