The Templeton Gap Trai Ridel

Our Second ride for the The Rail Trail Riders of Colorado Springs, CO. was held on July 23rd., we started at Nancy Lewis Park, (which is a beautiful local park), and then headed out to ride the Templeton Gap Trail, we rode the trail from Union Blvd. to the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail, our original idea was to turn around and ride back to the park but since it's still just "Jo and I" on the rides, we headed down the PPGWT and headed over to an old fashion ice cream, burger joint, called the Tasty Freeze for some ice cream! BUMMER it wasn't open yet so we instead headed out for lunch and rode to Taco Bell for a yummy combo burrito!! 

LOL, yes I know that's not healthy but that's one of the many reason we RIDE so we can eat a bit of junk food and it won't just go to our waist's! ;) Then we headed home. We can't wait till we get our first new members, but we don't mind as we were going to RIDE anyway! :)

Start of T-Gap Trails

We've started the Rail Trail Riders of Colorado Springs, CO.

We've been members of the Colorado Springs Cycling Club off and on since 2005, resigned up in 2016 BUT, as of July, 2016 we have decided to "leave" the CSCC for good and try to start our own "Casual Bicycling" Group, called the: Rail Trail Riders of Colorado Springs, CO.  We will be mostly riding the local area "Rail Trails, bike paths, lanes, etc. around the City of Colorado Springs, CO.

We've noticed that most of the rides the CSCC was doing were just "Too Fast" for my wife JoLynn and we wanted a more, FUN, relaxed riding group. Were not into "distance", etc., just want to ENJOY a ride with other like riders. We will be using a VERY mellow, easy pace, that even families and kids should be able to ride! We have a website, (see link below), facebook page, we use as a "BLOG" and are set up as a "club" on bikejournal.com So we have our "ride/event" schedule listed in at least "2" places on the internet.

We know it will take YEARS to grow but we decided, it's TIME, for a Casual Riding Group, this is NOT for Racers, Long Distance Riders or Competitive type riders. We will have stops and usually find a place for lunch or a snack during the rides. We had our first "official" ride on "Saturday, July 9th." LOL, yes, it was just Jo and I but we now feel like it's started! Join us! :)
