Another way to enjoy Pikes Peak is
to ride the Cog Railway up and bicycling your way down. This option is being
offered by Pike's Peak Mountain Bike Tours and is reserved by contacting
them at (888) 593-3062 or at
http://www.bikepikespeak.com.
They offer this option on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays mid-June,
2008 thru
mid-August, 2008. The following is a description of their Pikes Peak Highway Route:
SKILL LEVEL: ALL ABILITIES
GUIDED/VAN SUPPORTED, 95% DOWNHILL
Get
ready for an exciting 7000 foot descent down one of America’s most
famous 14er’s! We start at the summit of Pikes Peak (14,110 feet) where
you can take photos and enjoy the breath-taking 360 degree view for as
far as the eye can see. Our fun, professional guides will fit you with
lightweight mountain bikes, complete with shock absorbers and
comfortable seats. You will marvel as the scenery changes from Alpine
tundra at the top to semi-arid desert at the base-as we descend through
five separate climactic life zones. To get you started, we treat you to
the “Manitou Pancake and Steak House” for an all you can eat buffet
complete with fresh fruit and choice of entrees. This unforgettable
journey is designed for all abilities and requires no prior training or
conditioning. However, if you have any health concerns please consult a
physician for high altitude compatibility prior to participating. Dress
for summer but bring gloves, jackets, and pants to wear over
t-shirts and shorts as it can be cold at the summit.
If you forget anything, don’t worry, we’ll have it waiting for you!
Please bring your sunglasses.
