My husband and I both did layers on top ( I had a short sleeve tee, long sleeve tee and a fleece- no jacket)- I wore jeans and my husband wore shorts. Many people were in shorts and my husband wears shorts most of the time, but he admitted that he was cold for about 1/2 the ride. We were both happy to have brought gloves. We didn't wear the jackets we brought. It's easy to throw the layers in the van and there are plenty of stops, including restrooms, to change if needed.

Q:
Flying in from Pennsylvania (altitude 50’ ) and planning to hopefully do this on our first full day. Has anyone ever felt altitude sickness being shuttled/riding down at this height or is it something I shouldn’t be worried about? I know not to hike a 14er since I am not used to the altitude but I don’t want to ruin my day by getting sick on the shuttle/bike. Thanks.

I took the van up and down. The young and fit folks did the biking. I felt rather light headed at the summit of Pikes Peak and I was glad I did NOT try to ride. I would recommend you do not try this on the first day as you do not know how you will feel at 14,000ft. Even Colorado Springs the elevation is above 6,000 feet. I am also from near sea level on the east coast. Also, be aware that some days the peak is totally fogged in. Is your goal to see the view from the top? And, the last week of May the road at the top was icy. So, I suggest you see how you feel and check conditions before you book the trip.

This is a question that is very very subjective. Every individual regardless of age is very different in what makes them nervous and also in their ability to control the bicycle. The ride is such that it does not require any advanced level of riding. It is a paved road the entire way and is 95% downhill. The two factors that are most important are: 1. Our smallest size bikes are 24" wheel kids bikes. They fit down to approximately 4'5" in height. 2. Can you or your children control a bike going downhill with handbrakes? On the Bike Pikes Peak Tour, or Ride-N-Rail tour the van will be behind the group as the support vehicle the entire way. So if at any point in time anyone is uncomfortable it is there as an option to skip a section or three. Typically this happens more often above timberline. Since you are able to see greater distances, this sometimes makes beginner riders nervous. At the end of the day...yes we have had as young as a 6 year old do this tour. He brought his own bike to ride and he was a VERY skilled little boy who actually did better than others on the trip. We have also had plenty of folks in their 80's do this tour. If you are trying to decide if it is a fit for you please feel free to stop in and try out some bikes and chat with us about it. We are here to help!
