Gold Camp Road 3

Date: 8/11/2012
Distance: 17 miles
Time: 2.5 hours
Weather: sunny, warm

I rode Gold Camp Road south from the 4-way parking lot in N. Cheyenne Canyon to the junction of Gold Camp and Old Stage Road. It was 2 hours of moderate uphill, followed by 30 minutes of easy fun downhill. The weather was sunny and warm, not too hot. My legs were up for more riding, but my butt was the first thing to start hurting. Hiking does nothing to prepare your butt for bike-riding!

Ready for a day of fun:

This ride followed the GREEN line:

  1. you laughing crazy-man!! You cracked me up. I found “myself” sweating on that ride down the mountain over the stones, sidestepping rocks, and through the dark tunnel… glad I had talked to you AFTER you took this ride and BEFORE I saw the video!

  2. I liked: the shadow profile/silhouette while riding; the tunnel, so cool!; the laughing, adrenaline doing the downhill; and the beautiful scenery! Bummer about the “seat” pain, or as Cordelia may say, your “tushy!”
