A
word from DreamCycle Tours’
Founder and President
After
23 years of a successful sales and marketing career, I applied my passion for
cycling and customer service into building DreamCycle Tours.
As
a Colorado resident for 27 years, I have cycled all the scenic roads, mountain
passes and climbed all of Colorado’s 14,000 ft. peaks. This first hand
experience in the most rugged and magnificent terrains of Colorado, has given
me a unique perspective on the most beautiful and challenging rides that this
state has to offer. After 8 years of participating in many tours from Colorado
to Europe, I discovered that several key areas were missing from a really high
caliber tour. I envisioned small groups of talented riders experiencing
scenery, athletic challenge and the sweet reward of rest, relaxation and
replenishment. With so much prior experience, I also sought the input from
fellow cyclists on what they found missing in previous road tours. I then
carefully blended scenic beauty, smooth pavement, exquisite mountain
destinations and full services into our DreamCycle Tours for the ultimate
touring experience for the most discriminating cyclists.
I
welcome you to The DreamCycle Tour to experience for yourself a stellar road
tour that you will be talking about for years to come.
Sincerely,
Brooke

Robb
Cope:
Awestruck with the beauty and daunting physical demands of the Tour De
France, Robb Cope was smitten with the sport of cycling in 1985. Tired of
standing around on a baseball diamond in junior high, he took up the sport with
vigor racing competitively until 1994.
|
 |
|
Originally
from Western Massachusetts, he raced USCF events as a junior but unfortunately
against the likes of Frank & Mark McCormack, Tyler Hamilton and George
Hincapie. Climbing the ranks to national team status was not in the cards!
Nevertheless,
Robb’s passion for cycling remains, as it does with foreign languages, golf,
culinary delights and the great state of Colorado. A CU grad working in
Boulder, dedication to customer service through providing products and services
with value is key. Your satisfaction is #1!

Grant
Goerzen:
After running four years of cross country and track in high school, Grant
started his freshman year at the University of Denver missing being “on the
team.” Hearing that a cycling team was starting up at school was all the
encouragement Grant needed to buy a road bike and join the team. After his
first race, he was hooked. Fueled by the physical and
mental chalenges
|
 |
|
that
the sport provides, Grant has been racing ever since. His biggest highlight has
been placing 3rd at Collegiate Road Nationals in the team time trial event. He
is now anticipating his fourth racing season this spring.
Grant
guided with DreamCycle Tours in 2008 and had the most fun he has ever had on a
bike. Grant’s number one goal is to make sure you have a great experience
riding your bike… after all, biking is supposed to be fun!
