About this event

Get out and Ride!!!

Gather your riding friends and go have some fun on Sunday, 13 August 2023.

Here's our proposed riding loop:

Meet with your group and have some breakfast anywhere. Some good choices are in Old Colorado City, such as Mountain Shadows, Bon Ton, or Sheldons on 8th street and Hwy 24. Breakfast burritos can be had at La Casita on 8th and Hwy 24, and at Rudy's. Or simply skip breakfast and do the ride.
Meet up with other club members at Rudy's on Hwy 24 and 31st Street at ~0830.
Head on up Hwy 24 to the Pikes Peak Hwy and ride to the top and back. Check out the new visitor center and have a donut while up top!

Scavenger hunt points will be given for photos of:

Pikes Peak toll gate (1 point)
Halfway Picnic Grounds (2 points)
Summit sign at the top (5 points)

Sign up to earn some club points for doing the ride and getting a photo at each of the scavenger hunt locations. Email us your photos and we'll post them up to this gallery album:

Pikes Peak Adventure Ride 2023

This is a perfect way to get out, ride your motorcycle, and experience some of what Colorado Springs offers in spectacular outdoor scenery.

Fees to go up the highway are $15 per person. To ride to the top, you must pre-purchase a timed entry pass online. Those are $2 per vehicle. If you do not pre-purchase the timed entry you may only ride to Devils Playground, not all the way to the top. The timed entry passes are ONLY available online. You may not purchase one at the tollgate. We recommend getting the 0800-1000 timed entry.

Here's a link to get the entry tickets and timed entry passes:
