THE VAIL & BOULDER OCTOPUS RIDES  

​​TWO EPIC ROAD RIDES  ALTERNATING ANNUALLY

​
​THE BEAUTY OF FATIGUE AND THE THRILL OF CONQUEST    L'Eroica
​


The 2026 Octopus is done!  With 35 riders, it was the largest turnout ever.
The sky was perfectly blue but the challenge remained the same. The hills once again chewed up most of the riders but not without massive elevation gains, and many smiles.  More details coming soon.

OCTOPUS TRUTHS
​

These rides are tough but they are not as tough as they seem on paper.

You will not show up to ride without committing to it much in advance.

It's also a helluva lot of descending!
 
​
I do not recommend these rides solo or duo. These two young lads did it on their own which is much more difficult. The group ride is painful ​but not as painful as this.  Have a look... THE VELO VEGAN
