More February 2026 rides

 The weather gave us a couple of breaks, so we managed to get in a couple more rides. 

Feb 15- Enjoying the SUN, out and about on the recumbents- We headed out to ride the Pikes Peak Greenway, going south, which is mostly DIRT! LOL, ya we don't normally care for dirt riding, but it had been a long time since we rode that way so, it was our destination.

Rode the PPGW down to Circle Drive, the new bridge construction was still going on so we took the detour route and then picked up the new concrete trail along Circle Dr/Lakeview Dr to get on the Harrison Interchange Ped Bridge over to pick up the Cheyenne Road bike lane to the Southgate shopping center and Panera Bread for iced tea and our brown bag lunch. Backstreets, to the Creek Walk Center and short trail to the Tejon St. bike lane back into downtown and back streets over to America the Beautiful Park.

Over the bridges and into Monument Valley Park and the "westside" Pikes Peak Greenway home. A beautiful day for a ride! 

Feb 16- Monday wasn't quite as nice as Sunday so we needed to go do a FOOD RUN to stock the home shelves! Hooked up the cargo trailer and off, heading east on the Rock Island Trail over to the Union Blvd Walmart Marketplace. Shopping done, we headed back home the same way, put away the cold and frozen items and then headed to the Mavrick Station Store for "cheap but quite good", pizza slices for lunch. Hopped on the PPGW and then picked up the Sinton Trail up to Garden of the Gods Road and down to the Mavrick Station Store. We then headed back the way we came and decided to extend the ride a bit and ride down the PPGW to Duck Lake, took a spin around the lake, got back on the PPGW and headed home!

Well, that's all for now, really COLD, WINDY and a bit of SNOW has come back into Southern Colorado, maybe be able to sneak a short, chilly ride on Sunday or Monday, will have to see how much snow we get on Friday afternoon into Saturday morning! HAPPY TRAILS!
