North Bristol Mountain Bike Club

Bristol Mountain biking and around Ashton Court, Leigh Woods

Colorado Springs, CO: Cap'n Jacks

There are several approaches this area, but this route follows a classic clockwise route that begins with an easy 2-mile uphill on Gold Camp Road. Continue through a parking area another 0.75 mile on doubletrack before turning uphill on singletrack near Cheyenne Creek. The Buckhorn Trail has several steep switchbacks, but loose rubble atop the hardpacked trail adds difficulty to the climb. After joining the multi-use 667 trail at mile 3.6, you may encounter motorcycles—this trail can be downright busy on weekends.

The final section of trail winds along the north slope of Mays Peak and gets faster (and more fun) as it heads downhill, rolling over short jump-like bumps, cutting through a winding steep-sided chute, and finishing with a series of sweeping banked turns just before loop end.

The best time to ride this popular trail is weekdays when there’s less traffic and after a solid rain when the loose gravel atop the hard-pack is likely to be dense and sticky enough to roll over more efficiently on both up and downhills.
