Several days before, it was 90F+ so it was really nice to get in a ride where the high temp was only 70 to 75F. Been a little while since we rode to Manitou Springs so we picked up the Pikes Peak Greenway south using the concrete trail on the westside of the Greenway into Monument Valley Park, then over the Ped Bridge over I-25 to the Mesa Springs Greenway, Walnut St bike lane, a back street to the Cuchares Trail to the Midland Trail heading to the westside of Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs.
Stopped at the Starbucks at 31st St. and Colorado Ave for iced tea and a brown bag lunch. Headed back to the Midland Trail west, which changes to the Creek Walk Trail when you get into Manitou Springs. Rode the trail to its end at May Fair Dr. Came back on the trail over the little wooden bridge over Fountain Creek and headed back east to the Midland Trail and into Colorado Springs. Bike lanes thru the city, then the Weber St. bike lane to the Tastee Freeze Drive Inn for more iced tea and a Think Bar snack. Shooks Run and Rock Island Connector to Cascade Ave bike lane back to the storage unit. Sunny, mellow temps, a really excellent day for a RIDE!
