When I first heard about the 65 mile Ring the Peak Trail around Pikes Peak I knew that one day I would have to run the whole thing. It just didn’t seem though that they would ever complete the trail. There are a couple of segments that may take some time to complete: The first segment is where the Ute Pass Trail ends on the north side along highway 24 and the other a nearly twenty mile segment on the south slopes of Pikes Peak. Private property issues and the decision of the Forest Service and Colorado Springs Utilities,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 Rosa Blanco Mujeres Venta Hombres Running Zapatos,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2012 Nero Blu Donne Con alta qualità e prezzo basso, not to interfere with the Bighorn Sheep lambing area have postponed the completion of the trail. I couldn’t wait forever.
The Ring the Peak trail has been completed in one day on at least two occasions by mountain bikers,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Azul Rojo Hombres En Venta En Su Selección, but they resorted to biking on the highway over the two unfinished sections. For aesthetic reasons,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V2 Negro Naranja Mujeres Venta Zapatos Para Hombre, as a runner,
Nike Roshe Run Yeezy Gris Hombres A Precio Más Bajo 55% De Descuento, I wanted my experience to be on trails for as much as possible. Last October,
Men Nike Free Run 3 Black Silver White 2015 New Arrival Free Shipping,
Nike Roshe Run 2014 mujeres rojas Ant-piel Ayuda Para Alojarse En Estilo, perhaps foolishly,
Nike Roshe Run Men Black Volt Factory Outlet Online Store Save Up To 60, I made my first attempt at running Ring the Peak as a solo effort. There were some patches of snow on the ground in Manitou Springs when I started out,
2013 Nike Free Run 5.0 olympique Bleu Jaune Femmes Avec Livraison Gratuite, but I had no idea how deep it would get by the time I reached the western slopes. I made a three part YouTube movie of that attempt,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 Ext Todos Orange Mujeres Disfrute De Más Descuento, aborted after about 25 miles,
Men Nike Free Run 2 Shield Grey Black Turquoise Grey More Than 60 Off, which is archived on the web: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3. I hadn’t even scouted the southern slopes before that attempt. By the time I decided to abort the attempt I found myself slogging through snow up to mid shin. I don’t know what I was thinking of. Sometimes I wonder if I am an incredible optimist or just a damned fool.
I resolved to make good on doing this thing this summer,
Nike Free Run 4.0 2012 Azul Plata Mujeres Venta Aquí Con Alta Calidad, and after a few emails back and forth on the CRUD (Coloradans Running Ultra Distances) email group we set a date of June 12th for the first CRUD Ring the Peak Fun Run. We first had some scouting to do though in order to make it as much on trails as possible. Rick Hessek and I did two scouting sessions on the South Slopes,
2012 Nike Free Run Tr Fit Negro Azul Hombres Running Zapatos For Barato, first scouting a route from where the trail now ends on Forest Road 376 off Old Stage Road over to near Gillette. The following weekend we scouted a route from the top of Pancake Rocks to Gillette,
Nike Free Run 4.0 Fourrure Noir Gris Hommes Vente En Ligne Avec Cheap Prix,
Nike Free Run 3.0 2012 Gris Rosa Mujeres Versión Adecuado Para Usted, filling in the missing section on the South Slopes with trails,
2012 Nike Free Run Tr Fit Gris Verde Hombres Venta Zapatos Auténticos, bushwhacking,
Nike Roshe Run Black Men solaire Rouge Nouvelle Collection Est Disponible, dirt roads,
Nike Roshe Run Hyp Qs Naranja Azul Oscuro Hombres Con La Mejor Calidad, and the occasional fence hopping. For the section after Ute Pass,
Nike Roshe Run Wmns Sherpa Haute Gris Orange Femmes Pour Hommes Pas Cher, rather than drop down to Highway 24 as the current route shows,
Nike Light Run Roshe Gris Rojo Hombres Venta En Línea Con El Precio Barato, I had already scouted a route straight up French Creek from the Ute Pass Trail to Hurricane Canyon,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Rosa Gris Mujeres Para Barato Zapatos Para Hombre, then over to Manitou Reservoir on a primitive trail. We had a viable,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Nero Rosso Bianco Donne Risparmia tempo e denaro Ora, if improvised,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2012 Gris Verde Mujeres Venta Con 70% De Descuento, route around the Peak that would keep us on dirt and off pavement except for a couple of short segments,
2012 Nike Free Run 3.0 Azul Plata Mujeres Venta Hogar Es Su Mejor Opción, one for about a quarter of a mile on the Pikes Peak Toll Road and the other being about two miles along Crystal Park Road in Manitou Springs.
At four in the morning on June 12th,
Nike Free Run 4.0 Anti Fur Grigio Blu Uomo Al prezzo basso 55% di Sconto!, seven CRUDers lined up by the Cog Railroad terminal to start the long trek: Rick Hessek,
2013 Nike Free Run 5.0 Olympic White Yellow Mujeres Venta Zapatos Baratos, Paul DeWitt,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2012 Pink Mujeres Tenemos El Precio Bajo En Línea,
Men Nike Free Run 2 Anthracite All Black Extra 50 Off Clearance Items, Nick Starkey,
Nike Free Run 2 Azul Blanco Gris Se Han Convertido En Foco En El Mundo, and I (Steve Bremner) would make the entire loop that day,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 2012 Azul Naranja Mujeres Precio Barato Calidad Cozy, finishing at 9:30 that night after 17 hours and 30 minutes. Paul Doyle and Brandon Salisbury went the first 21 miles with us,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V7 Blu Grigio Men Si possono trovare gli ultimi Style, taking a ride back to Colorado Springs with Rebekka who provided the first station at the Crags Campground. Rich Muzzy kept going with us past the Crags to the next station near Gillette at 31 miles,
Nike Roshe Run Fb Yeezy Black Orange Mujeres Para Barato Pero El Real, where Harsha Nagaraj joined us for the final 34 miles.
The first few miles we rolled along the Ute Pass Trail with headlamps,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Blue donne di colore Per economici Scarpe autentici, continuing on the dirt road past Longs Ranch Road before branching left towards the French Creek Dam. There is a straight up French Creek that is somewhere between an all out bush whack and a trail: I call this in between sort of pathway a because it doesn quite warrant being called a There were some mutterings of mutiny as I led a stalwart charge up the steep slopes. Paul DeWitt asked don we just go down to the highway? I would have none of that kind of talk though. I had scouted and schemed and laid out the course over weeks of preparation just so we could do it on trails. No highway,
2012 Nike Free Run 3 Azul Plata Mujeres Con Alta Calidad y Bajo Precio, no way.
The stays to the left of the French Creek before cresting and dropping down to the confluence of the North and South Forks of French Creek. We crossed the creek following the seldom visited trail that leads to the Manitou Reservoir. We passed through a couple of meadows as daylight emerged. At Manitou Reservoir we turned down the dirt road,
2012 Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 Mujeres Plata Verde En Venta En Su Selección, running fluidly downhill. Before we reached the Pikes Peak Toll Road we passed the trailhead to the Severy Creek Trail: closed for years due to the endangered Greenback cutthroat trout,
Women Nike Free Run 2 Black White Anthracite Outlet Online Store 2014, with an estimated population of only 2,
Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Gris Gimnasio Rojo Usted Puede Ahorrar Mucho Aquí,000 fish surviving in the wild.
We ran the short segment up the toll road to the Crowe Gulch Trailhead,
Nike Free Run 2 Rojo Blanco Negro Página Oficial Con 100% De Alta Calidad, following that trail for a couple of miles before intersecting once again with the official Ring the Peak trail,
Nike Roshe Run Fb Yeezy Verde Leopard Hombres Aquí Sería Su Mejor Opción, which comes up the Mt Ester Trail from Highway 24 at Chipita Park. We would remain on the official Ring the Peak trail for the next more than twenty miles until its present terminus at Pancake Rocks.
After traversing some nice meadows,
Nike Free Run 2 azules amarillas Mujeres Venta Hombres Running Zapatos,
Nike Run Balanza gratuito 2014 Negro Rosa Mujeres Para Hombres Baratos, the trail goes through woods,
Nike Roshe Run Black Blu Mesh Men Uscita per voi a scegliere. Compra Ora., then up a utility road for a ways before turning back into the woods on single track trail again,
Nike Roshe Run verde gorro de Mujeres Para Baratos Zapatos Auténticos, winding around some nice rock formations before dropping down to Crystal Reservoir. The seven of us ran like an accordion,
Nike Free Run 3.0 Rose Gris Mujeres Usted Encontrará Las Últimas Estilos, the distance between the first and last runners reaching as much as a quarter of a mile or so at times,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 2012 Blue Orange Women Risparmia tempo e denaro Ora, but retracting back eventually. Near Catamount Reservoir we came on two backpackers who were hiking the entire trail over three days. They had heard about our intended effort to run it in a day from Neal and Teresa Taylor,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V2 Negro Naranja Mujeres Nueva Colección Está Disponible, caretakers of Barr Camp. They asked how we were intending to go through the South Slopes region,
Men Nike Free Run 3 Black Silver White 2015 New Arrival Free Shipping,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Gris Azul Rosa Mujeres Ayuda Para Alojarse En Estilo, recounting a difficult trek around Sheep Mountain and a fiasco down a ravine that sounded epic. After hearing that story I was glad we had already scouted a good route.
The trail follows dirt roads along the Catamount Reservoirs for about five miles before turning off onto the Limber Pine Trail for a mile or so. The next section is one of my favorite sections of the trail. An old 4X4 track leads up a wide valley with beaver ponds to the left and open meadows. The weather was threatening rain and mists hung over the ponds. Brandon dog took off lancing and Paul and Brandon dropped back to wait for his return. Eventually the wayward animal returned to the pack and they caught back up to us as we climbed up to the crest of the dragon that was our portal to the western slopes of the Peak. I remembered very different circumstances during last October attempt on the trail,
Nike Roshe Run Fb Yeezy Black Orange Mujeres Con Más Bajo Precio Auténtico, when as I ascended to the pass the snow got deeper and deeper. On this day in June we had no snow,
Nike Free Run 2 2012 Rouge Noir Blanc Femmes Liquidation Livraison Rapide, but it had started to rain on us. 21 miles into the run,
2012 Nike Free Run 3.0 Gris Rosa Mujeres Ayuda Para Alojarse En Estilo, bedecked in ponchos and jackets,
2014 Nike Free Run Gimnasio Negro Rose Mujeres Zapatos Corrientes De Venta, we dropped down to the Crags Campground Road Station that Rebekka had graciously prepared for us. Brandon,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 2014 Plum mujeres rojas Disfrute El Mayor Descuento, his dog,
2013 Nike Free Run Powerlines Gris Verde Hombres Tienda Outlet On Sale, and Paul had come to the end of their day running and took the ride back to Manitou Springs with Rebekka. Paul DeWitt,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 2014 Orange Mujeres Venta Aquí Con Alta Calidad, Rick Hessek,
2012 Nike Free Run 3.0 Negro de plata de la Mujer Todo De Alta Calidad, Nick Starkey,
2013 Nike Free Run 5.0 Olímpico Rosa Gris Mujeres Más De 60% De Descuento, Rich Muzzy and I continued for a couple miles on the road past the campground to a trail that climbs to 10,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 2012 Silver Mujeres Purple Para Auténtico Barato,500 elevation before it crests at the head of Putney Gulch. Last October it was here trudging in the deep snow,
Nike Free Run 2 Orange Yellow Mujeres Para Baratos Zapatos Auténticos, with nightfall rapidly approaching,
2012 Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 verde plata Mujeres Venta Zapatos Auténticos, and the temperature dropping into the mid 20 that I decided to terminate my attempt. I broke out my cell phone and called Rebekka and asked her to meet me on Highway 67 after a quick decision to bushwhack down Putney Gulch. With a small measure of satisfaction I noted the landmark where I had quit the attempt and we pressed on. The rain which had stopped for a couple of hours started back in earnest and we broke out the ponchos again,
Nike Run Balanza gratuito 2014 Mujeres Gris Naranja Para Auténtico Barato, the trail rolling up and down through some impressive country with beaver ponds and open meadows shrouded in mist. The overcast skies and misty precipitation (no hard rain) were perfect for a long day run. Eventually we reached Horsethief Park,
2012 Nike Free Run Tr Fit Azul Hombres Amarillo Ven y Únete a Nosotros,
Nike Free Run 4.0 V3 2014 Gris Bleu Noir Hommes Pour Pas Cher Authentique, where Rick and I had some moments of doubt when we thought we might have missed the Ring the Peak trail turn and thought we were on the trail towards the waterfall. Shortly afterwards though we espied another Ring the Peak trail sign and started the long steep climb to Pancake Rocks. Before Pancake Rocks we heard a clap of thunder,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V2 2012 Blanco Gris Mujeres Cada Compra Que Realice, followed shortly by ten minutes of pea sized hail. The good news was that was the end of the day precipitation (on our heads at least,
Nike Free Run 5.0 Tr Rojo Blanco Gris Mujeres Venta Zapatos Para Hombre, Colorado Springs on the other hand suffered a near deluge.)
From the Pancake Rock formations we followed an old jeep road south all the way down to Oil Creek. We crossed the creek ignoring Trespassing signs because our prior scouting expedition had shown this to be bank foreclosure properties. No one was around. We followed a dirt road for a short ways before crossing a fence into a pasture,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Verde Mujeres Buena Calidad y El Envío Rápido, where on the other side we found a trail from our scouting trip to Cripple Creek Reservoir 2. After a mile or two the trail dumped out on the dirt road by the reservoir and we ambled down the road to the gate for the reservoir club. The road passed through two high fences enclosing a couple dozen curious and highly social wolves. We met Harsha Nagaraj here. His wife and kids were a little further down the road manning our second Station and providing Rich Muzzy ride home after 31 miles of running. Nick Starkey had been planning on quitting here as well,
Women Nike Free Run 5.0 Blue Grey White Featured Items Are First Come,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2012 Verde Mujeres Venta Hogar Es Su Mejor Opción, but made a spur of the moment decision to keep going for the duration. This was quite remarkable since Nick longest run ever prior to this 64.5 mile adventure run had been 23 miles on road!!
The next segment was all ad lib following routes Rick and I had discovered on our scouting trips. I’m going to gloss over much of this section due to private property concerns,
2013 Nike Free Run Líneas Azul Hombres Tenemos El Precio Bajo En Línea, but our course from Gillette took us partly along dirt roads,
Nike Run Balanza gratuito 2014 Mujeres Gris Rosa Con Descuento Grande, part bushwhacking,
Nike Roshe Run gris rosado gorro de Mujeres Regalo Para Usted o Su Familia,
Nike Run Balanza gratuito 2014 Plum mujeres rojas Nosotros Outlet Store, past the south side of Bison Reservoir,
Wmns Nike Free Run 4.0 V3 Negro Fushia Mujeres Venta Zapatos Auténticos, then down an old jeep road to a broad valley system where we found another old jeep road that Rick and I had scouted out that led steeply up past a cabin ruin and into Bull Park,
Nike Roshe Run Negro Rosa Mujeres Excelente Calidad, a broad marshy basin at 10,
2012 Nike Free Run 2.0 Gris Azul Blanco Mujeres Nosotros Outlet Store,
Nike Free 3.0 Luz Bone reflectante Plata Iguana Verde Hombres En Venta,000 feet in elevation. We connected here with a 4 wheel drive road that we followed up to our high point of the trek at 11,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2012 Gris Rosa Mujeres Regalo Para Usted o Su Familia,600′,
Nike Free Run 4.0 V3 Negro Rosa Azul Mujeres Hombres Con Descuento Grande, where Rick and I had come on five bighorn sheep while scouting the course. We stopped here for a moment of rest. Paul told me I looked bad and should eat something. I looked through my stores and realized that I had not picked up any bars at any of the two aide stations and all I had to eat were gels. I bummed a Clif Bar off Rick which I nibbled on for the next half hour or so. Not long after this I ran out of water and we didn’t come on water for another hour. I started to lag behind. This was becoming an ordeal. We had logged about 43 miles by then but had another 20 miles or more to go.
We dropped down to Forest Road 376 rejoining the Ring the Peak trail once again. One big climb then mostly downhill for a long ways,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2012 Green Women Pour Vente Chaussures Authentiques, all the way down to the start of Section 16. After what seemed like forever we finally came on a creek where I was able to fill up my camel bak. Rick asked me if I wanted an iodine pill. At first I said no,
Nike Roshe Run Carton Alarma Roja Hombres Zapatos Corrientes De Venta, but then allowed that I might take one. Nick said a lot of water,
2012 Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Men Gris Bleu Ont Le Prix Le Plus Bas En Ligne, better take two. Okay. I think that the first time I ever used iodine pills. The only time I used filters is in the deserts of Utah or Arizona. With the water I revived quickly and picked up the pace,
Nike Roshe Run Hombres Negro Gris Volt Venta Hogar Es Su Mejor Opción,
Nike Free Run 10o Aniversary Verde Gris Mujeres Más De 60% De Descuento, actually moving into the lead for a couple of miles. We dropped down past Frosty Park and into Jones Park. Now we were on familiar stomping grounds. Relentless downhill running,

Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Blue Black Men Saldi 2014. Get 85% di sconto, and then Manitou Springs. Just before High Drive off the Bear Creek Trail the others had stopped for water. I kept going. Walking slowly down the road I enjoyed how it felt on my legs to be walking,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Gris Rosa Mujeres Es Una Buena Opción Para Usted, not running,
Nike Roshe Run Yeezy rosa Hot Punch Donne Qui sarebbe la scelta migliore, expecting the others to come running past me at which point I would have to run again. They never came! I walked all the way down High Drive to the trailhead for Section 16,

Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 Ext Bright Pink Mujeres Outlet Tienda Online 2014, only to see them walking down the road and resting just like I had done! We had a long ways to go before we could rest and they had all taken advantage of a moment to rest their legs. I couldn remember the last time I had run up this trail segment up Section 16. Usually I run down this trail. I anticipated it to be steep and difficult but it wasn as bad as I thought it would be. As the others ran the ups I mostly walked,
Nike Free Run 2 Drench Azul Naranja Blanco Buena Calidad y El Envío Rápido, falling back. I called Rebekka to let her know we were about two hours out so she could meet us down by the Cog Railway and left my cell phone on. A few minutes later my phone rang. John Genet was asking where we were on the course! When I told him Section 16 he said,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii azules mujeres negras Todo De Alta Calidad, you almost done! No,
Nike Free Run 4.0 Fly Line Bianco Black Men Saldi 2014. Get 85% di sconto, I insisted. We still had to run down the steep section to the Intemann Trail traverse over to Crystal Park Road,
2014 Nike Free Run Gimnasio Negro Blanco Hombres En Venta En Su Selección, run down the road,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V2 2012 Blanco Gris Mujeres Venta Zapatos Auténticos, over to the Intemann Trail and traverse above Manitou Springs to Ruxton Avenue. It seemed like an interminably long ways at that point. Forever. I kept the others in sight,
Nike Roshe Run Yeezy Negro Blanco Hombres Para Baratos Pero Real Zapatos, but I was lagging behind. Finally we reached Crystal Park Road where we ran down together as darkness fell.
Joining the Intemann Trail at the cemetery we donned our headlamps for the final two miles of trail. Trudging on,
Nike Free Run 4.0 V3 Bianco Nero Uomo Prezzo poco costoso di qualità Cozy,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Azul Rojo Hombres Disfrute El Mayor Descuento, running the downs,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2012 Negro Rosa Mujeres Liquidación Envío Rápido, walking the ups I fell back 50 yards or so,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2014 Blanco Amarillo Mujeres Con Calidad Auténtico, but when we finally reached Spring Street I caught back up to the group and we jogged in the final stretch of trail alongside Ruxton Creek to Iron Springs Chateau. Unbelievable. We had made it. Rebekka was there parked on the roadside. We touched the Ring the Peak sign where we had started 17 and a half hours ago,
