You push off from a shaded pullout and the eBike hums awake beneath you; the road tilts, the pines lean in, and Colorado Springs opens like a map below. Gold Camp Road unfurls on an old railroad grade — gravel, packed dirt and the occasional wash of mountain run-off — with tunnels yawning ahead and ridgelines that put the city and the Front Range in high relief.
