Sunday June 2, Well it's finally deciding to go from Spring to Summer, here in Southern Colorado! Sunny and warm, infact HOT! Time for short's and short sleeves, Sun Screen and lot's of fluids! Our ride was kinda a "couple of bridges to nowhere" affair, heading up the Pikes Peak Greenway, just across from the BMX track there is an old bridge, falling apart and I don't know it's history?
Heading north we rode up to the Cottonwood Creek Trail to get to the Vincent Frontage Road Trail, Another old bridge to nowhere is the old Denver Highway bridge above the trail.
You will see it in the video above! We didn't turn left to continue on the Cottonwood Creek Trail, headed right and made our way to the Dublin Blvd/Nevada Ave trail heading over to the University Colorado Village Center and Panera Bread for iced tea and our brown bag lunch.
We then headed down to America the Beautiful Park in downtown Colorado Springs to add to the ride. Great day out and about on the Recumbents!
From there we headed over to the Weber St. bike lane, heading north over to Cascade Ave and back to the storage unit, tucked in the trikes and went home.
June 3, We rode on the Templeton Gap Trail up to the Flintridge Road bike lane over to Academy Blvd and McDonalds, one of the few left with "outside" seating for again our iced tea and brown bag lunch. Heading back the way we came we headed over to Nancy Lewis Park off the Templeton Gap Road bike lane. Just stopped for a break, took some photos of the park.
Then we used back streets and the Fontanero St. bike lane to work our way over to Monument Valley Park and ate our snack, filled water bottle and sat in the shade by the YMCA pool by Stanley Lake.
From here, we picked up the Mesa Springs Greenway back over to the Pikes Peak Greenway and Popcycle Bridge, back streets over to Cascade Ave bike lane and back to the storage area, calling it a day! High 80's F and sunny, ah feel's like "SUMMER"!
June 4, 2024, On yesterday's ride, the "mount" for the "speed sensor" for my e-assist system Broke, had to ride up to Angletech and have Kirk attach a new mount! Lucky for me I "ALWAYS" carry a few cable ties in my rack bag so I got the sensor to go back into place but had to go to the shop to get a new "mount" installed. From there to McDonalds on Garden of the Gods Rd. for a cheap hamburger and small iced tea for lunch, it was already hot so I called it a day and rode back to the storage unit, tucked in my "fixed" trike and walked home. Some rides are just errands or maintenance needed in nature so just 10 miles total but it's alway good to RIDE! :)
