Adventurers: Just me (Hart has joined in the past)Duration and Difficulty: 11 miles each way. It takes about an hour each ways but it is best to plan on two. It does make you sweat but your breathing is calm enough you can have a conversation. Map My Hike Link
Trailhead: Monument's Santa Fe Trail Head.
Notes: This is the second time I've don this but I know I'll do it again. Riding the 11 miles to the movie theater via the Santa Fe Trail is a ton of fun. It really changes the whole sensation of watching a movie. I arrive all sweaty so always bring a jacket (sweat and A/C are not friends). Then, I eat popcorn guilt free because according to MapMyHike, I burn 300 calories just on the way to the theater. Then after watching the move I get to head out and hop on my bike instead of sitting in a car in a movie theater induced coma. The 11 miles home gets the juices pumping and the views of the Air Force Academy are a welcome treat after sitting in the dark for two hours. Yes, there is some trespassing, and yes, there is some odor that comes with the ride but that is part of the fun.
