Didn't get on the bicycle for the whole month of December, that's a sad first for me, RATS! :( Well I've decided to rejoin the "Colorado Springs Cycling Club" here in town for 2016 so hopefully I can get motivated again! Jo isn't rejoining, she just has "too slow a pace", (avg speed 7 to 8 mph) for riding with even the slow rides that the club has.
The problem with most clubs, is that they tell you that you speed doesn't matter BUT, if you can't keep up with the group, YOU will HEAR about it, that's why Jo won't rejoin but I will still ride with her and let her set the PACE. I just won't ride with the club "every week" but I feel I need to be a member, even if it's just for the, work they do with the City Government and local departments that effect "Bicycling" here in Colorado Springs, CO.
LOL, even now I'm sure I'll be "tail end" Charlie as I'm not any where near as "fit" as I was the last time we were CSCC members! Now I just hope my old (93) Mongoose Switchback MTB, won't fall apart on me till I can afford to get it overhauled!!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and they are telling us were gona get snow and freezing drizzle so it's looking like December before I get to ride again, RATS!! Hope the weather is better your way and you get in a excellent ride! :)

A ride with a mission
Last Saturday we took a bicycle ride on a sunny and warm Halloween day, it's on of our favorites using back streets, bike lanes and trails and normally heading to Manitou Springs. Today we rode to "Old Colorado City" on the westside of Colorado Springs to find a "British Tea Shoppe". My wife Jo was needing to measure a tea pot to make a "coozie", which is a cover for our Daughter Jenn's Tea Service.
What we didn't realize was that the local area merchants were doing a "Trick or Treat" at their stores so we had to wade thru a large crowd to get to the shop. I stood guard on the bicycles and people watched while she got her measurements. After that we headed to the Midland Trail and rode to 31st. then did a turn around and headed back home. It was a good 20 mile ride and we really enjoyed it! :)
