Manitou Incline Tweetup!
Yesterday (7/30/2010) I felt like doing the incline again, however, I didn’t feel like going by myself, so I decided to ask on twitter if anyone wanted to tweetup and was down to come along.
After waiting for a while, I still had no response of anyone who was willing to go, so I went to the twitter website and searched for people around Colorado Springs area, and that’s when I found @HURRAYYme‘s post.
We tweeted and scheduled to do the incline at 9:00 AM. I left the house early enough to find a spot to park. However, when I got down to Manitou Springs, almost everything was covered with cars. I drove around for about 10 minutes untill I found this spot.
Nick was obviously better in shape then I was, so I told him to go ahead and I would meet him at the top. Nick got to the top in 40 minutes, which is very impressive, believe me. It’s 5000 steps, it’s an old cog-train trail which is 43%-63% incline the entire time. Here is Nick’s post if you would like to check it out.
This was now my second tweetup, and if you ask me, it’s one of the most fun things to do if you want to meet new people!
