Last Friday, we got 5 inches of SNOW, Saturday, freezing AM temps but then warmed up enough to do some serious melting! Sunday was a beautiful day, sunny, 65 degrees and lite winds.
March 8th- Friday, 5 inches of SNOW, Saturday, Soggy Melt, trails and streets, Sunday, LETS RIDE
With 5 inches of snow wasn't sure we'd be able to ride Fri/Sat or Sun but on Saturday, it finally warmed up enough to melt a lot of the snow off the trails, it let the city crew plow thru quickly. By Sunday it was mostly dry trail and streets, so we headed out on a ride. We made a Loop Ride out of Sinton/Foothills/Shooks Run and T-Gap Trails.
March 9- Beautiful Weather for a Monday Ride
It was a really nice day for a Monday, so we headed out to the North Cheyenne Canyon Park area. Using a lot of bike lanes, Tejon St/Cheyenne Blvd and some back streets we headed up to the park and stopped at the Picnic Grounds for a bit, then we headed east on the Cheyenne Blvd bike lane and more back streets over to Southgate Panera Bread for iced tea and our brown bag lunch. From there over to Monument Valley Park, up the Pikes Peak Greenway but found the trail closed at Unitha St.
Decided to take Recreation Way back to the Legacy Loop Trailhead, back on the PPGW but again it was blocked off, we had to move a small barrel and put it back to continue to the Rock Island Trail over to Shooks Run Trail and to the STIR Coffee and Cocktails Cafe in the Bonn Shopping Center. After a second iced tea and snack bar we headed back to home the way we came. Really nice day for a RIDE!
March 11- Service Appointments at Angletech in the Sunny but COLD morning with a very bitter WIND!
Due to the Snow, we never made our Saturday afternoon service appointments at Angletech. We rescheduled for Wednesday the 11th at 1 PM. We headed up via Sinton Trail to the shop to get both rear derailleurs adjusted and have my headset checked out. Headed out via a walk to the Black Bear Diner for a great little "Cheeseburger combo basket" and Iced Tea.
The wind was "bitterly COLD", even though the sun was out! We got back to the shop and picked up the trikes, talked to Joshia about a drive train upgraded from 7 speed and friction shifter set up on Jo's trike to a 9 speed and rapid shifter set up! He came up with an affordable set up so we will be heading back to Angletech on Friday at 11 AM to get it all installed, YEA!
Note: Sadly, I did shoot some video BUT, after loading it from the camera into the computer, somehow, I erased the video segments off the computer so NO YouTube Video, RATS! That's it till next time folks, HAPPY TRAILS!
