Thanks for the info. My wife actually has a cousin in the AF that is living there now and told us the NE is where to go as well. I guess we will have to weigh the commute time versus how bad we consider the crime to be. We also have 2 dogs, one large and one medium sized that will require a fenced back yard so the apartments are a no go. Plus, I am just over living wall to wall with other people.

I would also recomend that once you adjust to the altitued you take some time to explore more of the greater Colorado area. Buffalo Creek is an awesome trail system and an only about an hour and a half drive away. Summit County (Breckenridge in particualr) also has some awesome mountain biking and is a great place to spend a weekend.

Considering it is a 30 minute drive for me to even get to the trail head here in TN, which is less than scenic, I am sure once Colorado gets her hooks in me I will be at every corner of the state!

Wow, thanks for the info! Believe it or not, I passed up Hawaii for Ft. Carson (even though I grew up surfing) because of all the different outdoors activities/sports Colorado has to offer. My wife and I felt it was a better fit for us and our new family. I am super excited to get there and start riding. I have a hardtail right now and depending on how finances look after I get there, I might make the leap to FS…but we will see, I am partial to my hardtail!

Again, thanks for the info….stoke levels are high right now!
