2004-08-10 Rampart Resevoir Trip

Rampart is a 14 mile loop with very little technical riding and some
great views. Plan for about 2 hours ride time.

My van will seat seven and the trailer will haul up to ten bikes.

3:30pm - Meet at Protocol to head up the hill. Protocol is at 1480
Garden of the Gods road. About 1/2 block West of Centennial and
Garden of the Gods road (just west of Chipotle/Ruby Tuesdays).

OR meet at the trailhead at 4:30pm.

** Let me know ASAP if you'd like to jump in on the BOMB shuttle up
to Rampart!

2004-08-14 Pikes Peak Downhill
Please be aware that there is a cost involved with this ride. It is
$35.00 per car load plus gas...we're working out the shuttle
details.

** Please respond ASAP if you plan to do this ride so we can plan
accordingly! Call Keith directly at (719) 964-3595. Final tally
needed NLT Tuesday the 11th.

We'll meet at the Barr Trail trailhead at 9:30am, load up the shuttle
vehicles and head up the hill. It takes about an hour to get to the
top. We hope to be gravity slaves on Barr Tail by 11am at the latest.

The ride will take about 3-4 hours total. Be sure your bike is tuned
and ready to ride (especially BRAKES).

Direction to the trailhead:
Colorado Springs riders...we'll probably meet elsewhere to bring as
few vehicles to the trailhead as possible. Parking is VERY limited
at the Barr trailhead.

Take I-25 to Highway 24 exit. Head West on Highway 24 to the Manitou
Ave. exit (4 miles). From the off-ramp, veer right and drive into
Manitou Springs. Once in town, look for the Cog Railway sign, and
turn left onto Ruxton Ave (1.5 miles). Follow Ruxton all the way to
where it ends at the Cog Railway (.7 miles). Hikers using Barr Trail
should drive past the Railway building, and turn at the sign
labeled "Barr Trail Parking", up a short little steep road (Hydro
Street) to the gravel parking lot (.2 miles).
