I have been trying to get the riders from our Facebook, Pikes Peak Region Recumbent Network group to "gather" for a monthly, "Meet and Eat"! LOL, so far it's not caught on well but I will keep trying! A Meet & Eat is where you pick a "location" to meet and eat and let the "riders" figure out what routes they want to ride to get to the destination as so far, we don't have any weekend volunteer "RIDE LEADERS" step forward. I set up the event on our Facebook Page for Saturday June 22nd. at 11 AM at the Red Leg Brewery Complex. It has several different Food Vendors! It was a beautiful morning for a meet up, Jo and I as host's were there about 10 minutes early. Sadly, it was just US but we had an excellent Turkey sandwich from Oliver's Deli with the usual unsweet iced tea. We then headed out to see if the Sinton Trail South was passable, due to road construction closings. Got lucky and the path was open, from there, we headed down the PP Greenway over to the Weber St. bike lane to get more iced tea in a late afternoon stop at the Good Neighbors Meeting House. 20 mile day, hot and sunny, enjoyed it!
6/25 It was a really HOT day, 96 F degrees for a high temp so we did a shorter ride along the Rock Island Trail, heading east to it's current ending point just before Powers Blvd. Did a turn around and picked up the Academy Blvd Pathway over to the Mavrick Station for iced tea and a brown bag lunch on their patio! Felt great to get out of the burning sun, filled up our 2–24-ounce water bottles with ice and water and headed back down Rock Island Trail over to the Tastee Freeze Drive Inn for, you guessed it "more unsweet iced tea" and afternoon snack homemade trail mix. Too hot to continue, headed back to the storage unit and then a HOT walk back to the air-conditioned apartment! Sorry no new photos or video as it was just "TOO HOT" to shoot them, BJ
