With one quick swing on Friday morning, Colorado Springs city councilman Scott Hente smashed a bottle of sparkling apple cider across the old "No Trespassing" and the Manitou Incline became legal for all to enjoy.
Members of the nonprofit Incline Friends group, special guests and early morning Incline hikers joined a media frenzy for the official opening.
Hente had pushed for years for the Incline to become legal and he was there to "christen" a new era for the old railway bed.
"We know that this is an important day for the people of the Pikes Peak Region and I just want to encourage people to enjoy this recreational activity," Hente saud.
He pointed to the economic impact that the Incline is expected to have, and encouraged Incline hikers to support businesses in Manitou Springs.
"It's a huge economic engine for the entire Pikes Peak Region," Hente said. "I encourage everyone when you get done to have breakfast, a beer, both, at a Manitou restaurant. This is a huge economic activity for Pikes Peak and it exemplifies all of the recreational activities we like to do."
Hente was joined by Steve Bremner, Incline Friends president, who worked for years to help complete the Manitou Incline Management Plan.
"It has been four years since we started the management plan and two years since we finished the plan," Bremner said. "But we're finally legal, Feb. 1, 2013."

The Incline Blues

This video features poor pickin,' god-awful vocals (we can't call it singin' by any stretch) and bad lyrics. Written, produced, directed, performed and edited by The Beagle who is solely and sorrily responsible for its content. The dude couldn't carry a tune in a steel cage to save his life.

Geoff Roes and Anton Krupicka took questions form the audience following the premire showing of "Unbreakable: The Western States 100" on Wednesday, Dec. 7, at Stargazers Theatre in Colorado Springs. The film follows the footsteps of four extraordinary athletes, including Krupicka and Roes of Boulder, as they prepare for the 2010 race and the daunting challenge of running 100 miles across the Sierra Nevada, some of the most rugged country in the western United States. Roes won the record time of 15:07:04. Krupicka was second in 15:13:52. The event was a fundraiser for the Incline Friends, the nonprofit organization working to help make the Manitou Incline legal to climb.
