Third night in a row they’ve hosted club rides, this time the Manitou Spokes. Yesterday was a Colorado Springs group; they do laps around Garden of the Gods (pretty great scenery.). They are SAG’ing the Pikes Peak Hill Climb on Saturday, went kayaking this morning at some lake by Pikes Peak.

Spoke with the owner, a firmer racer with kids in college, etc. They have a house on site for larger groups, another cottage, some larger rooms, sort of like a small adobe village, cross between a campground and a motel. We counted 9 states in the parking lot, the neighbors are from Germany (guy was proud of his new Trek.)

We watched yoga by the pool until my lady decided all that fitness was enough. (I wondered what all the men were doing by the playground.)

So, as a tourist, I bought the jersey. Triple ByPass is in 9 days, but we decided to climb up to Pike’s Peak tomorrow. The bikes were seriously out of tune, so they got the full treatment today.
