October into November 2024, Indian Summer, then WHAM Winter!!

Ah yes, behind as usual, so let's get at it right away!

October 29

This was just a local area ride on back streets, bike lanes to showcase some of the Halloween Displays we found in the area around our home. It was a REALLY WINDY day but still a FUN ride over all!

 

November 1

We headed up to see if the re-aligned portion of the Rock Island Trail and Murry Blvd, new lighted crosswalk was dry, it was so we headed East to the end of the Rock Island Trail just before Powers Blvd. They have made progress on the crosswalk, but it's still not finished and working as of yet. We ended the ride on the North ending point for the Mesa Springs Greenway, then headed back to Cascade Ave bike lane back to the storage unit. 

November 2

Decided to ride the Templeton Gap Trail, this trail has two different ending points just before the Austin Bluffs Parkway, we decided to take the straight-ahead portion to its end at Ranch Road, a few blocks short of Academy Blvd. Started the video heading back south, then west.

It was getting a bit late, so we headed over to Bonn Park to eat our snack then headed back to the storage unit, tucked in the trikes and walked home

November 5

Had several things to do on the 3rd and 4th so no ride. Sadly Jo came down with a sinus induced migraine headache, so she stayed home. I headed out for short ride as the weather was going into full time WINTER mode by the evening hours. Just did a loop of several trails, stopped at Panera Bread for iced tea as it warmed up enough and ate my brown bag lunch. Headed out of Panera Bread and wow clouds came in WIND came up and the temps seemed to drop 5 or more degrees!! Headed south on the Pikes Peak Greenway and took the Rock Island Connector up to Cascade Ave to end the video and headed for the storage unit then braved the wind back to the apartment!

Sadly, it's been SNOWING on and off from the late afternoon on the 5th. to today, the 8th!

We are supposed to ride in the Veteran's Day Parade with the Pedal Powered Veteran's Group but I'm not sure the back streets from the apartment to the storage unit (1.2 miles each way), to be able to pull our wagon with E-assist batteries and gear!! It's going to be a real last-minute decision on weither we make the parade, RATS! Hope your getting in some good winter season rides! BJ :)
