More November Rides

 Another busy month but there have been so many nice days that we got more rides in anyway!

November 12- With lot's of appointments, etc. Finally got in a ride and the day was Awesome! 

November 13- Couldn't find the Phase 4, new section of the Creek Walk Trail in Manitou Springs? - We saw a Facebook post from the PAC-Man Group in Manitou Springs that they have finished the newest section of the Creek Walk Trail. We headed out over to America the Beautiful Park and the Midland Trail to Manitou Springs. It was supposed to hook into the Mayfair Ave., Phase 3 section but we followed a dirt path we thought might be it but it wasn't so we headed back the way we came into the Springs! They are suppose to have a "official" ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday November 18th but we have appointments that day, RATS. Oh well, it was another great day for ride so we will try again soon!

November 14- I took a different route and headed back to find the new phase 4 section of the Creek Walk Trail in Manitou Springs! - Well jo had a doctor's appointment, so I decided to go back and FIND the new Phase 4 trail section!!  Wala, I found it, no markings at all and instead of running along Fountain Creek like the rest of the Creek Walk Trail, it runs along Manitou Ave. heading towards the Manitou Springs Visitor Center and then to downtown.

It's better than having to use to streets but kinda a bummer, it's not continuing to follow the creek, RATS. It will take you over to Memorial Park and 7 Minute Springs Park, via back street and then to the Visitor's Center. Ok, well mystery solved but hopefully a future, Phase 5 will take it all the way into downtown Manitou Springs! Enjoyed the longer route ride via Sinton and Foothills trails, another nice day to RIDE

November 16- World Remembrance Day for Road Crash Victims at City Hall in Downtown Colorado Springs, CO.- We decided to ride down and support the local World Remembrance Day for Road Crash Victims. Headed down the Weber St. bike lane into the City Hall and did a video of the Ceremony. Then we headed out to lunch at the downtown Starbucks and then rode to Monument Valley Park, Pikes Peak Greenway and picked up the Rock Island Trail up to hook up with the Academy Blvd Access Path to a Mavrick Station Store for iced tea and a Think Bar afternoon break. The sun heads down a lot faster now so we headed back to the apartment and tucked in the trikes!

   

Monday the 17th. - It's REALLY WINDY today, sunshine but lot's of clouds and heavy wind gust's so we decided not to ride, hopefully we can ride Weds. as Thurs. and Fri. look like RAIN, bummer. Oh well, it's been a good fall riding season so hopefully we can get in a few more rides before the snow falls!! HAPPY TRAIL'S!
