Generally the breakfasts and dinners provided at the schools were excellent. The first hurdle to entering the RTR is to win in the entry lottery. Only 2000 are selected and some contestants go to great lengths to make their entries noticeable. Bright and colorful envelopes are used to attract the registrar s attention, even thought he lottery is advertised as random. By tradition, the ride tours the state of Colorado with the ending in the Denver area.
