Sept is here, getting a new computer put me behind so here's the rest of August 2025

 August 20- Sinton Trail Detour Ride, we rode up Sinton Trail to see how the Detour due to trail reconstruction was set up. PP Greenway to Sinton Trail up to Chestnut St., then detour right to Darby St. to Holland Park Parkway, turn right and re-pick up the Sinton Trail is the new detour route. It's a bit of a PIA but not too bad. We then rode over to pick up the Foothills Trail down to the Midland Trail back to downtown, then home!

August 21- Dual Camera Test ride and out of town trikers too Ride! Our friends and fellow trike riders, Karen and Jim LeClerc from Indianna were here in Colorado Springs so we all got together for a ride around the town on different trails and bike lanes. It was also the 1st. test of using "dual cameras", 1- handheld GoPro 11 Mini and 1- frame mounted GoPro 6, getting two different views of parts of the ride. Fun time, good lunch! Check it out!!

August 23- PPRRN Meet and Eat Ride. I set up a Pikes Peak Region Recumbent Network Meet and Eat Ride, I decided to lead a ride from Stanley Lake at Monument Valley Park up to the Smashburger at the University Village Colorado Center off of North Nevada Ave. Well no one showed so I headed up to the Smashburger and alas, no one met me there either so I had a great burger and sweet potato fries with tea and then just headed back, enjoying the ride! Maybe next time!

 

August 28- Riding with trikers from TX and their friends. It's so cool when trikers from other states check out our YouTube Channel: Out and About on the Recumbents and then decided to hook up with us for a ride in the area. We hosted the Martin's from Texas and their friends! Ended up riding Tempelton Gap Trail and then headed to The Good Neighbors Meeting House for a great lunch. Then Shooks Run and some back streets to get to America the Beautiful Park for some photos. As always, it was a great time riding and hanging out with fellow trikers! If your ever in Colorado Springs, we'd be happy to show you around!!

August 31- Errand and Free Lunch Ride.  We did a couple of errands and ended up at Panera Bread, the Martin's gave us a gift card, really sweet people! We had lunch and then headed out for ride here and there, just enjoying the sunshine and warmth in the waning summer months before cooler fall temps!

Well that brings August to a close, I will be back soon with the September Ride, get out and RIDE as the summer is coming to a close as usual, way too fast my friends! Happy Trails!
