Overview
This is a stunning, 100+ km route from Criterium Bicycles in Colorado Springs up the Front Range.
Need to Know
Both
Rampart Range Road and
Mount Herman Road are open to vehicle traffic throughout the year. Care should be taken when descending either road due to the potential for oncoming traffic.
Also, neither the
New Santa Fe Regional Trail nor the Garden of the Gods are closed for the event, so the utmost caution should taken in these very popular areas.
Description
This is the course for the Rampart Rager—a new, challenging route along the Front Range. The route starts along the
New Santa Fe Regional Trail and follows the
Sinton Trail and
Foothills path to the Garden of the Gods.
This route circumnavigates the main monuments in the Garden before turning westward into the mountains. The subsequent climb up
Rampart Range Road is epic with a nearly 4000 ft elevation gain and stunning views of Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak.
After climbing to ~8,000 feet, the route follows well-marked gravel roads around Rampart Reservoir before descending to Monument on
Mount Herman Road.
