We’ll do the classic Air Force Academy loop clockwise twice, and on the first lap, we’ll add in the West Monument Creek out-and-back climb. You can customize your effort by increasing/decreasing the number of loops you do, or skipping the Creek climb. As a bonus, there may be a car show to see after the ride in the Bass Pro parking lot.
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43043807, 32 miles, with 2,600+ ft of climbing
Ride Type: A no-drop ride, with opportunities for efforts on the climbs (hill repeats for the ambitious?), and regrouping. Rear lights required.
Start Location Details: Take a right off of Bass Pro Drive at Kaycee Case Place into the parking lot, then if the car show is setting up, immediately go right again and head past where the show is setting up. If there is no show, we can gather by that parking lot entrance in the southeast section of the lot.
