September 24- Sinton Trail, Pond and Angletech ride. Service appointment at Angletech so we took Sinton Trail up, stopping at Sinton Pond.
It was cloudy and we kinda cut the ride short as the threat of rain and high winds were on the way!
September 25, 2025-Sand Creek Trail and getting dirty on the Pikes Peak Greenway. We decided to ride the Sand Creek trail, it's a route of trails, streets, bike lanes to end up on the Pikes Peak Greenway, well the DIRT parts heading back west into the city. Over the low bridge and into town, headed to America the Beautiful Park back on the concrete parts of the Pikes Peak Greenway, stopping at Monument Valley Park for a pit stop. Continue on the Greenway home.
September 27, 2025- Cottonwood Creek Trail, all the way to the current ending point. A really nice day so we decided to ride the CCT to its current end at Woodman and Powers Blvd.
We don't normally ride all the way to the end point, but the temps were mellow and as the 2nd. half is really open and can be really HOT on a hi-temp day! The concrete just ends, dirt 2-track then single track so we always turn around at the end of the concrete. Headed back the same way.
October 1, 2025- Found a way around the Construction Detour on upper Sinton Trail to ride the Foothills Trail. Last time we headed up Sinton Trail we couldn't get to Foothills Trail due to construction on the trail! This time we found away around the construction and made the Foothills, 31st. bike lane to Starbuck's at Colorado Ave and 31st. for lunch.
We headed back the same way and stopped up at the Mesa Overlook just off the Mesa Trail, the back to Foothills, Sinton and headed home.
October 2, 2025- Heading to Sacred Grounds, CAFE that is! ;) Wanted to head back to the Sacred Grounds Cafe heading towards North Cheyenne Canyon Park. Got iced tea and ate our brown bag lunch.
Headed back down the bike lane over to the Creekside Center to get a photo op but it was taped off due to the were constructing a "STAGE" for local concerts, etc. along the walkway. We turned around and headed for the Tejon St. bike lane, America the Beautiful Park and headed home of the Pikes Peak Greenway.
October 5, 2025- Motorless Morning at the Garden of the Gods. Twice a year (april/october)
they close the Garden of the Gods City Park to all "AUTO TRAFFIC" in the park from 5 am to 12 Noon! Again, we headed up Sinton Trail and Foothills trail to the GOG Park. They even set up SLOW DOWN areas to keep the speeds down, walkers, bicyclists, dog walker, skaters, runners take over the park and it's a very enjoyable ride. The weather was totally awesome, so it was a fun day for a ride in the park!
We rode the park and shot video, just a perfect day and had a brown bag lunch and headed back into Colorado Springs and home.
We headed up the PP Greenway and of course, Sinton Trail to Angletech to get Jo's trike serviced, new front tires, chain and finally "ball joints" for the front-end steering! Its taken a long time to get the "ball joints" for our trikes from England! I got mine in September and finally Her's arrived, so we got all the needed services done!
From there we headed to the other side of town and Evergreen Cemetary to place some flowers on my Mom's headstone for her birthday. Headed back down into town and stopped at Starbuck's at the Antler's Plaza Hotel. It was getting late so we headed home from there.
Well that's all for now folks, hoping the year brings a "Indian Summer" for November but got a feeling it's going to turn WINTER, way to Soon! Happy Trails!
