August 2024, the HEAT continues but the Monsoon Season is heading towards us!

Lot's going on but with the HEAT in the 90 F+ range, we've mainly done very early morning rides or early morning walks!  So I will just add photos and videos to bring the blog up to date!




 These photos cover area rides from the 22nd, 23rd and 30th. On the Pikes Peak Greenway, at the Storage unit at the end of a ride on a HOT day and along the T-Gap Trail.

7-31, 












We'd ridden the western half of the T-Gap trail on one of the earlier days rides so we headed EAST, stopped at Portal Park for break, then continued up the T-Gap to one of it's ending point, this one is the north end, at Ranch Road. Headed back then got on a small accessway over to T-Gap Road Bike Lane to head towards downtown and the Olympic and Paralympic Museum for a photo op! From the Museum, we headed north on the Shooks Run Trail, stopping at the Tastee Freeze Drive in for Iced Tea and snack before heading to the Cascade Ave Bike Lane back to the storage unit to call it a day!

8-3, 








We headed out to Manitou Springs, the "backway" using the Mesa Springs Greenway to get to the westside, rather than the Weber St. Bike Lane. Got to America the Beautiful Park and headed west on the Midland Trail, once into Manitou Springs, turns into the Creek Walk Trail. Stopped at the park for lunch, rode to the current end point of the trail. Headed east back to Co. Springs. It was HOT but most of the morning was nice as it had rained a bit overnight! 

Here are some video's:







The Videos Cover from Mid July to August 3rd! Thanks for checking out the BLOG!

Well that's it for now, Today, August 5th. is my 69th birthday and my brother Bob and my wife Jo took me to the "Black Bear Diner" for my Birthday Breakfast. We hugged Bob and then walked the 4 miles from the Diner, down the Sinton Trail to the PP Greenway and to our apartment! Beautiful morning but the HEAT was coming in when we got home!! Till next time, "Let's Go, Ride LOW, Ride RECUMBENT!
