Pikes Peak on a rest day,

Colorado Springs is the resident city of Darin, Julie, Zoe, and Levi Zaruba.  Julie is the daughter of Jan & Phil Quist.  The riders used their home as a base for the first day off since Minden NV on the CA/NV border.
So what does one do on a day off from a bike trip?  -laundry, take a cog railroad trip to the top of Pikes Peak, ride through Garden of the Gods, shop for supplies, get your tent poles fixed at REI, blog and crash.

Garden of the Gods

Look closely for the deer on the COG Railroad tracks.

 Back to Pueblo tomorrow.
