AJBert, thank you so much for that offer!! We are somewhat familiar with the area, since we were there last year. We are riding in the Pike, just in the area around where we camped last year (Cedar Mountain Rd). The only named trail that I remember was we rode Hackett Gulch. That was a fun trail!! We did a lot more riding in the area, but they were all numbered trails, and I don't remember the numbers.
We have a friend that lives in Colorado Springs and we were all just basically following him. Of the group that is riding, we are the only ones with a camper set up for boondocking, which is why they all rented the lodge this year. Our plan is to camp in the same spot as last year and our camper will be the daytime base for everyone. My concern is that since I am so unfamiliar with the area, if we show up and that camping area is occupied, I don't have a backup spot and won't have a ton of time to scout around. I also was wondering if there were any good camping/riding areas a bit closer to the lodge they rented.
AJ, If you are around that weekend you are welcome to come hang out and ride with us!!
