Well sadly, the Dog Days of Summer as getting short, it won't be long before temps drop and leaves start changing, RATS! Yes, 90 F+ days are a bit rough on us Senior citizens but I do not like the cold, wet and that 4 letter word, SNOW at all! Got in a couple of rides and a Food Ride with lunch so here's a report!
August 24th. The Rock Island Connector Trail is now open so we hadn't done a video on it yet, so here it is along with some photos. This "connects" Pikes Peak Greenway with Rock Island East and Shooks Run Trails. Before, you had to use several back streets to make these trail connections so it's a REAL improvement!! They even built an entry/exit on Cascade Ave onto the Rock Island Connector! Here are Photos of the "connector trail" and a video our ride:
Here is the video and Mapping video:

Decided to just ride close so we headed north on the Pikes Peak Greenway up to the Vincent St. bridge, just off of Cottonwood Creek Trail. Headed to the access way Trail along Vincent Frontage Rd, Dublin Blvd and Nevada Ave. Over the "Cracked Path" to the under street access to the University Village Colorado Retail Center and Panera Bread. South on the Pikes Peak Greenway over to the Rock Island Connector, Shooks Run south, the Pikes Peak Ave Bike Lane thru Downtown over to America the Beautiful Park, Midland to the Walnut St. Bike Lane and the Mesa Springs Greenway. Back to Cascade St and to the Storage Unit. Just getting in a ride as it's supposed to be more rainy on Monday!
Gota FUN couple of days coming up, on August 27 and 29, we have Two out of State trike riding couples who are going to ride along with us on a few of our local trails! They are From TX. and WI. Going to be great to meet them in person as they are on a couple of Facebook Groups and are "SUBSCRIBERS" to our YouTube Page, "Out and About on the Recumbents"! Really looking forward to getting to RIDE with them!! :)
