Visiting Co. at the beginning ono june and need some help

[CrAckErKorEan]

The wife and I are taking a road trip to colorado. Colorado Spings to be exact. We would like to take a beginner ride together some where. Would somebody be able to point us in the right direction or feel like showing us around?

Also I am going to take a half day and go for a ride something a little more technical but still the beginner area. I am not that good or fast.

On this half day ride the wife would like to spend it at a spa you guys have any suggestions. Maybe a place your lady has visited before.

Thanks

I'm headed on a tangent... but what the hey...

Go to Evergreen (West of Denver). There's a spa there called TallGrass. Find a B&B, er something (tons around). It'll be cooler than the springs, and still in the mtns. There are a few mtn parks. Alderfer 3 sisters is okay for beginners (some techy sections, walkem if you need to). and there there's Elk Meadow/ Bergen peak... excellent ride, and a little more techy.

Your wife will like TallGrass, so will your wallet. But its the bomb.

Otherwise, you're in a tourist state. Pick something and go.

Unfortunetly we would not be going to denver this trip. We are going to Springs area and doing the tourist thing there.

You might PM bikeCOLORADO for some ideas. He is from the Springs.

You got the hookup...we'll host you and show you around! Might even toss up a few pics for the rest of the Monkeys to drool over (our local playground)...

Ascentrek - Evergreen, cooler than the Springs - uh, yes. We're talking mid-June here, mid 70's at the MOST. You make it sound like the 'Springs is volcanic or something.

That's only what we WANT other people to think...trying to keep traffic down in our playground. Our trails suck, the flys and mosquitos are as big as your head, it snows 13 months a year, if it's not snowing it's 120 degrees in the shade, we only have one technical trail in town and it's got a whopping big 1 footer on it, did I mention the cannibals that eat people when they stop on the trail? This town sucks - please don't come here.
