No doubt. We're talkin the Rockies here - so any route will be excellent, and challenging. Oh, and the last day is Friday, July 1, not July 2.
Can't wait for more details; especially the main hotel is in Aspen, and Crested Butte.
Let me tell ya; getting two nights sleep in a bed in Steamboat Springs was just what the doctored ordered.

What are the total miles?
Just a note, the ground in Leadville has lots of rocks. So if you are camping, staking will be an effort.
