Merry Christmas!

Our outing for this month will be a Bike Ride from Palmer Lake to Goose Gossage Park on the   Fe Trail on 2 December. Its about a 20 mile trip and mostly downhill.  We will meet this Saturday at 950am at the Palmer Lake Trail Head. The address that takes you there on Google Maps is “199 County Line Rd, Palmer Lake, CO 80133”.  We will follow the Santa Fe Trail South through the Air Force Academy until we arrive at Goose Gossage Park and finish off by riding our bikes on the dirt mounds there. We should arrive there about noon and you will pick your scout up there.  Google maps has the address to Goose Gossage Park is “Goose Gossage Skate Park, Mark Dabling Blvd Colorado Springs, CO 80907”

Here is a link to the route on Google Bike Route

Its not a very hard ride. The trail is dirt and paved so Mountain Bike style or fatter tire bikes are best. Road bikes with super skinny tires might be a little tough over the dirt trail portion.

The weather should warm up to about 60 degrees but be ready for it to be a little chilly so have gloves to keep your hands warm. Everyone needs to have a helmet. Bring a water bottle or Camel Bak to stay hydrated. Small snacks are fine too.   Parents and capable family members are welcome to attend. There is no cost to this event.
