What is this 32-22 bail-out of which you speak? You're not even under-geared

Ha! Perhaps it's hypoxia. Grin. The Quickbeam test ride to the toll booth
went swimingly so Quickbeam it is, though I'll have to try and time my
arrival to the gate for after the line of cars at opening (9am) is through
to minimize brain exposure. Now I just have to hope they clear the highway
Maybe if I had more prep time. I wish you success. Send us pics.This is the
best time of the year to go..no lightning storms.I'm sure you know there
are two companies in Colorado Springs that take you to the top and ride
down.
Another thing to consider if that the downhill can be a white
Thanks, Jon. Next year sounds good -- I'll be doing it at off peak times to
avoid as much traffic as possible. Considering some of the passes I've
ridden down on single track (1-2 hours descent on some of them, all of it
braking), I'm betting my hands will do alright. Hopefully I'll know soon!
I just spoke with the rangers. It looks like Wednesday or Thursday are the
best days, given the weather report and the need to clear the road of the
2' of snow from Hurricane Simon and whatever they get up there tomorrow
(rain and snow predicted). Tuesday may work, presuming they clear it by
Yikes!
In the day ( 20 years ago) we used to ride to Cripple Creek( 10,000ft +_)
from Colorado Springs and back / That;s before gambling started. I rode
the Air Force Academy today..it looked like a lot of snow up there on the
peak. I'll think about it...but not too long:) I'm debating
Cool, Jon! I hope you go nutty enough to come. Grin. Stops as needed along
the way, so as while not leisurely, not racing the cars either. No reason
to hurry this one. I'd suggest bringing the Sam in the truck, then riding
the Sam from the Toll Booth (there is parking there since it's low
I'm not sure I'm up for the challenge. I'm positive my Doc would say no.
Here's a quip from a guy who does Mt Evans.

Patrick, if I lived close I would join you. One of my dream rides would be
riding in snow closed roads. Looking forward to the pictures tho.

Some day, Manny. Someday! Careful what you wish for though. Those are some
steep drop offs, and coming down them on bike is hairy in the snow.
With abandon,
Patrick

I would be more interested in riding down than riding up. Love coming
down those Colorado descents! My Riv is rock solid bombing descents
at 50+. But I'm not sure if I could take it climbing steeply near
14,000 feet. 11,530 is the highest I've been on the bike and that was
pretty difficult.
