| 13 February | 5.5 miles | Cross-country skiing; Grand Mesa |
| 14 February | none | Due to finances, we decided not to do RtR this year. We love the route, but with the wedding and the Deception Pass ride, just can't squeeze in one more trip. |
| 20 February | 32 miles | Road bikes; Chatfield |
| 28 February | none | Today was the last day to register for RtR. We changed our minds nearly every day; it's SO hard to walk away from this year's ride! |
