    Default 3 easy trails near Cripple Creek, Sunday 10/18



    Another last minute plan, but if anyone is in the Springs area, I will be running shelf rd, the bank, and phantom canyon tomorrow. All 3 are near cripple creek. shelf rd and phantom canyon are basically just dirt roads, the bank I believe is a little more fun, but nothing serious (from what I can gather anyway). Probably leaving the springs mid morning and heading to cripple creek via Gold Camp rd, and returning on the same. Most of the day will be on dirt, with the exception of a small bit of highway from Gold camp rd. to Cripple Creek, and the end of shelf rd down to Canyon city and over to phantom canyon. I've already ran shelf rd in the dark and want to see just how much of a shelf rd it really is during the day, same with Phantom Canyon. Running the bank just because it's right there.

    I've done Phantom Canyon. It is a dirt road. Honda Civic capable.

    But amazing scenery.

    Cant go. In Boulder. Gymnastics meet.

    You're a lucky man Tom, relish not being able to go!! Those kiddos will be moved out before you know it, you'll wonder what the hell happened to time, this weekend will seem like yesterday, and you'll be out wheeling every weekend. Take advantage of these weekends while you can.

    Shelf rd was the same way, I would've taken my eclipse on it, the bank I dont know, TD says easy squeezy, but it's outdated.

    We'll make it out on one eventually.
