May 2-20, It's been a really wild month, personal and weather wise, here's a update!

Well, our personal life has been a bit hectic for most of the month of May! Sadly, my Mom, (Bertha Eldora George), passed away a bit back but we held both her "Celebration of Life" and her burial at Evergreen Cemetery, here in Colorado Springs, CO., May 11, then 13th. We wanted Mother's Day but the cemetery staff doesn't work on Sundays. We have had to have the Disc brakes on Jo's trike worked on and other misc maintenance items looked at. We do put a lot of miles on our trikes! We now both have E-assist systems on our trikes, her's is a Rear Hub Motor, torque sensing style, mine is a Inline, cadence sensing style. Her's seems "smoother" where mine seems more, "powerful"! 

LOL, this is all leading up to the same old problem, yep, I'm quite behind with the BLOG! ;)

So I will give you the photo's and video's o the rides we've done since May 1st., where I left off last time! Ride LOW, Ride SLOW, Let's Go, Ride Recumbent!

Jo had a hearing aid appointment, so I headed out to ride the Vincent Bridge route, it was going to storm in the early afternoon so I just did a short ride!


We decided to ride up to Cottonwood Park on the Cottonwood Creek Trail, we like doing this on a weekday as it's not as crowded as the weekends! Really nice, Sunny and Warm!



As you have noticed, we like the "Unsweet Green Iced Tea" at Starbuck's the best, it goes well with our Brown Bag Lunches! At a store on North Academy Blvd., we met a great person, her name is Kimi, she is a wheelchair person but she also rides a TRIKE for short distances and for "inside exercise". We got to stop and chat with her and a cool Biker, who was riding a Honda Goldwing Moto-Trike! She is on Facebook so we keep track of her there as we don't go to that store a lot! It's off of Academy Blvd and Flintridge Road, we come off the T-Gap Trail, take the Flintridge Rd. "bike lane" up to Academy Blvd. She is a really fun
personality!


 
 Well that fill's out the rides so far in May 2024, we've had a lot of RAINY and very WINDY days so far this month so not a lot of rides! Of course we have done our weekly Food Runs with trikes and cargo trailer! My new E-assist system is a BIG help with a fully loaded cargo trailer of FOOD and Supplies! :) Here are the VIDEO'S that go with the photo's, ENJOY! Ride LOW, Ride SLOW, Let's GO, Ride RECUMBENT!

Angletech Demo Days and "Spokes Fighting Strokes Ride" May 4th. We also lead the PPRRN "Meet and Eat Ride after checking out the Demo Days!


Cottonwood Creek Trail up to Cottonwood Park, lot's of uphill grades to test the new E-assist system! 


Templeton Gap Trail, "Chill'in Ride" and a surprise meet up with "Kimi", cool personality and fellow TRIKE RIDER!
