LOL, the weather was weird, it was cloudy, windy but according to the weather, it was supposed to clear up before we headed out from the Storage Unit! Nope, as we headed down the Cascade St. bike lane, the winds got stronger, and we were riding into "spiting RAIN drops"! :( It finally backed off as we got into downtown to pick up the Midland Trail over to Manitou Springs. Midland was sadly a bit trashy, ass the homeless like to use parts of it to make camps, :( Even then, the clouds were parting, and the sun was peeking out here and there.
We kept heading west thru Old Colorado City, ran into mud here and there on the low spots of the trail that run along Fountain Creek! Made it over to Schryver Park to use the restrooms, that thankfully, Manitou Springs keeps open "all year long"!! :) Decided to go a bit further up to the small picnic and bench spot on the "Creek Walk Trail" to stop and eat our brown bag lunch!
Also got a shot of the stone bridge that Mayfair St. uses to get over the creek from the small wooden bridge at the back of the Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce Bldg.
From there, headed back east of the Creek Walk Trail and stopped at Field's Park, yes to use the restroom, I am OLD! LOL. Here's a new artwork piece that they installed.
Again headed east to where the Creek Walk becomes the Midland Trail heading back into Colorado Springs. Getting hot so we decided to head for the storage unit and not do our normal "iced tea" stop for the day! Here is a Relive Video Mapping of our ride, thanks for checking out the Blog! BJ :)
