Five 10,000ft passes in one day 5 in 1
The Pikes Peak HOG chapter puts on an annual 5 in 1 ride. They hit 5 10,000ft plus passes in one day (poker run stop at each pass). The ride is about 350 miles. This is a very technical ride with lots of switch backs etc but very fun! The ride starts in Colorado Springs at the Pikes Peak HD dealer and ends in Breckenridge Colorado with an after party. Most people get a room or a condo and stay the night. It’s a two hour plus ride back to Colorado Springs.
The wife and I had a great time. Some of the most beautiful scenery you will every see through the mountains of Colorado. Most of the trip you are above 8k ft above sea level and the highest pass is 12,126 ft.

Good for you and the group. Three years ago during the Green Chili ride (a large group from here on the forum)we did a ride called "Haul *** for the Pass". In all, we did 23 passes over 10,000' feet in five days. It was some intense riding and we were beat at the end of the week. I'll never forget Day 3...Tennessee, Fremont, Vail, Hoosier, Loveland, Berthoud, and Cameron Passes...well over 300 miles and sucking on fumes by the time we rode into Ft. Collins. But I got a cool t-shirt for the effort.
