[RBW] Re: Colorado Autumn S24O

2013-07-30 Thread Deacon Patrick
I am going to presume my brain injury needs are a barrier to participation 
and step out of the way so that all who expressed interest in Kip's 
Colorado thread can put together a ramble or S24O without the need to be 
concerned about if/how to accommodate the brain bludgeoned. I am hoping on 
doing Kenosha Pass this autumn, and if I happen to see any of you that 
would be wonderful.

With abandon,
Patrick

Och! I meant to add that most likely my family (wife and 4 kids from age 8 
mo. - 12 years) would be driving me there (it's that or I make a 3-4 day 
tour of it and bike myself there, unless someone from the Springs is going, 
has a scent free car and room for a mammoth and bags. Grin.). So, an option 
is to have a family/car accessible camp site or a site that is a short 
bikepack/hike in, as a base camp (Sect. 5 of the CT in the N. end of South 
Park has some great options for this), then ride from there. So families 
could come, spend time together, and those who want to ride on can.

With abandon,
Patrick
