2023-8-11-Errand Run and a unplanned meet up!

 LOL, well it's looking like my blog posts are following the same pattern of "catch up" for the month of August. As usual the same area rides, we just try to add something a little different each time if we can. Here is a video from the rides before the 11th. 

Although this next video isn't a RIDE, as we walked, it's about a slowly coming new section of trail, called the Rock Island Trail Connector, hooking up the Pikes Peak Greenway to both Rock Island and Shook's Run trails: 

The ride on the 11th. was just an Errand Ride, we needed to pay the internet/cell phone bill at our local T-Mobile store so we headed up the Greenway over to Cottonwood Creek Trail, then took the Vincent St. Frontage Rd trail over to the Nevada Ave Frontage Rd trail and head to T-Mobile store in the University Village Colorado Center. Paid the bill and then headed to Panera Bread for unsweet iced tea to drink with our brown bag lunch. As we got our table on the patio, Will and Vickey pulled up on their ICE trikes, it was nice to see them, we stayed outside and they headed inside to cool down in the AC! :) Always enjoy meeting fellow riders when we are "Out and About on the Recumbents"!! ;) 

From there we headed south on the PP Greenway over to Fontanero St. bike lane up to ride the north section of the Mesa Springs Greenway but the entry was blocked off as worker's had torn out the concrete and taped off the area, RATS! We headed South on the Greenway picked up the Bike/Ped overhead bridge over I-25 down into Monument Valley Park. Had a snack at Stanely Lake and then headed back to the storage unit to do a couple of adjustments to my trike. The clouds were rolling in but it never rained on us on our walk home. 18+ miles, lot's of smiles, even errands can be FUN on a trike! :)
