June 18- Errand Run, we basically were just out doing errands on the trikes and stopping for iced tea to go with the infamous, brown bag lunch! Added a bit here and there to at least make a ride out of it.
June 20- Let's GO ride over the Low Bridge! Jo had a medical appointment, so I decided to "try again" to see if the water in Fountain Creek had gone down enough and the City crew had been able to "clear off the derbies" that covered the "Low Bridge" on the Pikes Peak Greenway going over Fountain Creek. It's going south towards Fountain, CO. and wa la, it was clear so I rode over it and headed down the PP Greenway.
After a short distance the trail turns to gravel, heading to S. Circle Dr. where the tall, overhead new bridges are under construction. Had to take an off-trail detour to a street and down to the entryway of the El Pomar Youth Sports Center and make my way back to the PP Greenway! Instead of continuing south I turned east over a bridge to pick up the Sand Creek Trail and headed north. Followed the SC trail till its current end at Fountain Blvd., then took bike lanes and back streets to the Starbucks at Hwy 24 and Murry Blvd. for an iced tea and yep, brown bag lunch!
Picked up the Homestead Trail South but heading north to the Rock Island Trail and headed west. It was a very HOT day, 90F+ so I decided to head back to the storage unit and call it a day! 20+ miles and a fun ride, then a walk back home to my air-conditioned apartment! ;)
Decided not to ride on 21st. as they call for 95F temps so we plan to be back "Out and About on the Recumbents" on Sunday as it will at least be "BELOW" 90F! Till next time, Happy Trails!
