Yesterday I rode from Bear Creek dog park to just past the 4th tunnel up Lower Gold Camp Road here in Co. Springs, it was a beautiful day and I had a great time. I was wishing I had taken the time to put the knobby tires on my bike, the last five miles up the dirt was pretty soft and there were still patches of pretty deep snow. This road is closed to vehicular traffic beyond a certain point which makes it great for cycling. Just before leaving on my ride I was reading about how these Gold Camp road tunnels are rumored to be haunted. I don't buy into that sort of thing in general, but I have to admit it was a little eerie riding through that 4th tunnel out in the he middle of no where by myself. It was really dark inside and the dirt was soft, I was really glad I made it through in a hurry without having to get off my bike, the tunnel is a fair amount longer than it looks in the picture.
