Garden of the God??? That would be one long day. Longer than the 290 you have on the trail ridge ride. That is a doable ride. I've done it myself. Doesn't leave alot of time for stops but there is some.
Isn't garden of the gods in Colorado Springs? I've been there.

Yes it is a 380 mile trip from the motel in Estes Park and back the way I have planned.

Cool Daryl. I could ride to it from the motel and spend the night at your place.
That shortens the trip considerably

It's not a huge park. Pretty though. I enjoyed it.

I have never been out to the western states.
I want to see some of the sites while there but still want to have time to meet and socialize with you guys I have only talked to on here.
The rides I have planned so far will take up two of the three days I'm at the rally.
May have to rethink this a little

Here is a suggestion. There is a website called www.Everytrail.com. Why don't we set up an account for all to access and upload our routes/tracks up to it and then everyone can see the trails and the elevations of a particular ride. Then when the time comes, we can pic an choose what rides to do. I know that Basecamp allows you to convert routes to tracks to be uploaded. Then, you can download it to your GPS of your choice. Just a thought.

Rhys,

Trip has the routes and is putting them into some GPS program that you can download and enter.
