The winds have been wild and wooly, lately here in So. CO. guts as high as 60 mph! The temps have slowly been getting better, it was 65 F but with the chilly wind it didn't feel that warm unless it backed off for a minute or two! The morning wasn't bad but by Noon it was flying, we kept our ride on trails and back streets that gave us the best protection from the winds. We headed south on Shooks Run then west on Midland Trail over to 31st. and Colorado Ave. to get a unsweet iced tea at Starbuck's to go with our brown bag lunch, LOL, had to hold on to the bags, etc. but we ate and then talked with a lady, who was very interested in our trikes! :)
We thought about cutting the ride short but as we headed east back on the Midland Trail, we decided even with the WIND we wanted to stay out longer! Picked up the Mesa Springs Greenway via the Walnut St. bike lanes. Heading north we got back on the Pikes Peak Greenway and rode up to the Panera Bread at the University Village Colorado Center for another iced tea to go with our homemade energy bars! As it was starting to get late in the Afternoon we decided it was time to head to the storage unit, tuck in the trikes and walk our 1.2 miles back to the apartment, still fighting the WIND! Sunny, 65 F, WINDY but any ride is a good one, 27+ miles for the day, not bad for early Spring! :)
