OK since many of you might like to study more detail about the ride, below are the ride maps.
I put these ride maps on the web page because I know a few of you love looking at the ride detail and dreaming about the ride. At first glance these maps do not look so impressive, but they are way cool. If you click the Earth or Satellite tab and start zooming in, you can see the ride in incredible detail. I have spent a ton of hours sorting through the details of the ride for each day, so for those of you that enjoy this sort of thing, well enjoy!
Legend:
The Red lines are Harder routes
The Blue lines are main routes
The Green lines are a mix of easy and paved routes

The Story of Roulette Rides
Roulette rides are a passion for me. Roulette is my ride name, because it is a kind of gamble. The ride could be anything. In the early 2000's I started the rides with the desire to discover new places and great rides. I had the feeling that all the great rides were being closed down. I would soon learn that while ride areas are being closed, it is a very rich world and there are more great rides then I can ever ride. So the quest began, lets discover the best rides and "do it all". So each year the Roulette is only about discovering new great places and rides. Each year the ride is all new, and it is a gamble, sometimes it does not work, and riders are left to their own accord to figure it out. But most of the time it is spectacular. Incredible new places to experience. I now have a long time following of great riders who enjoy the experience each year, so some wish that we could repete some of the great trails that we have discovered, but that is not for the Roulette. Greats Ride are for those who have not ridden them before, but for the Roulette team, the great places are yet to discover. So that is the spirit of the Roulette, its an experience and adventure, that holds a bit of a gamble.
