Now the cat's out of the bag!  Hordes of California Rivendell riders are 
salivating at the prospect of riding in Alpine meadows, green trees, 
wildflowers, etc..  Posting pictures was a wonderful PSA for your area.  Is 
it too early to start planning 2016 expeditions?

DS, I started at 7,800 feet, peaked at about 9,500 then met Patrick at 
9,200ish, and the reservoir is roughly 9,000 feet. It's got some gentle 
rollers, then a steep climb away from the reservoir to more rollers on a 
forest service road. This ride link shows the route we did, though we 
turning off their defined route onto a FS road at 6.5ish miles (the high 
point in the middle of the elevation profile). From there we followed the 
ridge, climbing to 307 N. of the reservoir and took that back to the 
parking area (well, I turned off a bit early since I was riding home).

That's all I can think about when I see/hear pictures of Deacon Patrick's 
rides: my own white knuckles gripping the handlebars on the those 
unbelievably steep descents with large drop offs. The butterflies are a 
turnin'. 

What was the elevation (low and high)?

Looks like an awesome time nonetheless.

What a great event! You can no longer be the poles of conversational 
spectrum since you've met and been on a ride! Reassurance that good living 
will result in proof of outcome.

My trips up to Rampart were always afoot from the east (parking lot by the 
USAFA infirmary) up that slew of a valley on that narrow trail with the 
long fall on the left. 

The mention of a meeting of the Patricks conjured this in the past:




Glad the Rampart trail was in a toga for your ride!

Maybe I'm just an emotional wreck this week (quitting smoking, diet

brought a teary tingle (no actual tear as i am a stoic and emotinally 
repressed white male) to my eye, and a joyful one at that. Both of you are 
such playful, positive and reflective contributors to this list, It's great 
to think of you meeting in such a grand place and spending some time

That would be great, Michael. I'm not sure which Patrick you were refering 
to, so let me know if you will be near Pikes Peak and we can fine tune a 
ride for what makes sense for you. Loads of dirt road options. Just know 
that all rides have  "...pending brain cooperation on the day of the
