Colorado Springs

[genpowell71]

Wondering how the riding is around Colorado Springs. I get to spend the summer with the army guys there and I have alot of time off.

Colorado Springs, as well as the entire Front Range and the rest of the state, pretty much rules, especially for XC stuff. You'll find no shortage of good ridin' and good ridin' partners round these parts!

As far as the 'type' of riding, or trail descriptions, hit up www.trailcentral.com and browse through their extensive trail log... should give you a good idear of what we got here.

You can buy the book. Most of the rides are worth at least one go. You'll find a select few that you want to keep doing. And most certainly hook up with a local or two to take you on non-guidebook rides.

Per the other note if you tire of the local stuff, an hour or two driving will open up years of fun. PS, don't tell anyone (I should probably have my priviliges revoked for saying the riding was good here).

Oh man...it just absolutely sucks here.

It snows 11 months of the year, during the one month of summer the flies and mosquitos are the size of your head. You've got to drive 2 hours for any singletrack (one way) - and it's only 1 mile long, flat and paved with asphalt.

;-)

Look me up - I'll hook you up.
