February 10-13, 2023-A bunch of errand runs, etc. in a row between storm systems!

Friday, Feb. 10, Ride to the Antarctic, oops I ment Angletech! Jo's ICE Trice T, had a problem with the right-side disc brake "swanking" and Jo decided she didn't want the "Throttle" on her E-assist system. We made an appointment for service on Tuesday but a fridge cold front came in, we headed to the storage unit at a Balmy 10 F degrees with a very cold breeze, BURRRRRR! Made our way up to Angletech and then hung around inside the dealership. Walked over to 7-11 for a Big Bite Hot Dog and made copies of Jo's Trice T Service Manual and for her E-assist display unit then walked back to the shop. Finished our apple sitting on the comfortable couch it was just TOO COLD to stay inside. From there headed back down the Sinton and Pikes Peak Greenway back to home and Hot Coco!

Saturday, Feb. 11, Ride to Old Colorado City, westside of town to get our Son Steven's W2 Forms to file his taxes since he passed on back in October. We headed down the Weber St. bike path over to pick up the Midland Trail heading west, over to 26th. street to a FREE parking area of both of the restaurants Steven worked at last. Stopped at Bancroft Park and ate our brown bag lunch. 




Sunday, Feb. 19, Out on a "Solo" Ride. Well Jo wasn't feeling well, Sinus problems so I headed out to the storage area and got my trike for a SOLO ride. I was heading north on the Pikes Peak Greenway and all the sudden, I was surrounded by 100's of RUNNERS! They were on a Half Marathon, 13.1 run so I just kicked back and rode at their pace till the halfway point then headed on, thought about going to Cottonwood Regional Park but decided against it. Instead, turned on the Cottonwood Creek Trail up to the Vincent St. Bridge over to the Access Road Trail. Rode over to the University Village Colorado Center over to Panera Bread for lunch. Got the whole deli turkery sandwich, apple and iced tea! Next time I'm only getting a half of sandwich, just a bit too much! Headed back down the Pikes Peak Greenway over to pick up the Mesa Springs Greenway to it's current ending at American Furniture Warehouse, turned around and headed back to the storage unit, did a few adjustments and then walked home.



Feb 13., Food Run before the coming SNOW storms!! RATS, looks like we have got some semi-serious snow coming in Tue./Wed. this week so we decided to get in our weekly food shopping today instead of our normal Wednesday run. It was sunny and 40 F at the storage unit, then back to the apartment to hook up the cargo trailer to my trike. Headed the 2.5 miles over to the Walmart Neighborhood Market Place, got the weeks food and supplies! Wow came outside and dark gray clouds were covering the sky! We headed back to the apartment, unloaded the food and supplies and put the cargo trailer away. Rode south to the Good Neighbors Meeting Place for iced tea to add to our brown bag lunch. The clouds got darker and the temps dropped! We headed to the storage unit and walked the 1.2 miles home with temps dropping and the breeze getting stronger. Sadly, looks like we won't be riding for several days! :(
