CTR start with Stefan giving his words of wisdom, Eddie Clark Media
| CTR Course Record History: | ||
| In 2007, the first CTR ran from Denver to Durango. We used the Tarryall Detour, but skipped the Tenmile range (segment 7) and rode Cinnamon Pass instead of Coney Summit (segment 22) and the old Pole Creek trail (segment 23). This same course was used for 2008. Although Owen Murphy rode this route in 4d08h45m, he missed a short 5 mile section, so the course records for this route are: | ||
| Male: | 5d02h26m – Ethan Passant, 2008 | |
| Female: | 7d01h46m – Trish Stevenson, 2008 | |
| In 2009, the course changed to use the Hwy-285 Detour through Bailey instead of Tarryall, as well as adding the Tenmile Range (segment 7), Coney Summit (segment 22), and the newly constructed, gorgeous Cataract Ridge (segment 23). | ||
| Male: | 4d03h20m – Owen Murphy, 2009 3d23h38m – Jefe Branham, 2012 |
|
| Female: | 7d13h23m – Cat Morrison, 2009 6d05h30m – Eszter Horanyi, 2010 5d05h27m – Eszter Horanyi, 2011 |
|
| In 2013, the course changed once again to use the long, mostly-gravel Tarryall Detour instead of US-285. The Tenmile Range and Coney/Cataract Segments were kept making the CTR as true to the actual Colorado Trail as possible for Mountain Bikes. In addition, we started from Durango in 2013. In future years, the start will alternate between Durango and Denver. The course records starting from Durango include the prologue from downtown Durango to the Junction Creek TH. | ||
