Gold Camp Road Gravelor. Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek 2025

Friday July 26th, 2025.
Meet in Colorado Springs at the Bear Creek Park Parking lot and pedal Gold Camp Road up to Cripple Creek for Lunch and ride back down.
Old Narrow gauge Railbed so Marvin says you can coast up hill. 2-3% grade. Gravel. A few old tunnels. It's either 17 miles up, 38 or 89. AI never lies. I have a sag vehicle and driver incase of bears. Other gravel/pavement options off this route Phantom Canyon to Cannon City or Pikes Peak. Let me know for more deets. I'm hoping for 38 miles and a social ride. (See pic of Rail road magnet General Palmer on a bike at Garden of Gods (Glen Erie) ).
