March 23, 2024-As usual just trying to catch up, here's the scoop!

Well, HELLO all, yes as usual I'm behind the 8 Ball on updating our Blog! So, here's a photo and video update, thanks! March 1st.

 

We headed up the Rock Island Trail to find a small dirt off trail that we hoped would connect us to Constitution Court and Constitution Ave. The RI Trail ends at Powers Blvd

but we need to get across to food, shopping, etc. The off trail isn't really WIDE enough for our recumbent trikes to easily navagate so we sent photo to the City to see if they would

Make it wide enough for easy access, so far they are still "looking into to it"! 

 Took a ride on the Templeton Gap or T-Gap trail on a beautiful late winter day, March 6th., ENJOY!

March 10th. We decided to check out a nice little back road that get's us up to Northern Academy Blvd. Check out the great VIEW in the photo and the video! :)

March 11th. We headed out the Midland Trail over to Manitou Springs, we decided to keep going past Schyver Park and take the backroad into downtown Manitou Springs, stopping at the Memorial Park and the 7 Minute Natural Spring! 

March 12th. I did a tour of the "Legacy Loop" trail system, although it's not "complete" as of yet, it was envisioned by General Willam Jackson Palmer, the founder of the City of Colorado Springs, CO. It was a trail system hooked to several different parks, that would at the time, incircle the city, making easy access to wood's and parks for all citizens of the city!! I explain the different parts and what still needs to be added and finished to complete the Legacy Loop Trail, ENJOY! 

March 19th. 

March 23rd. We rode up to Angletech as it was hosting the "Rodger Reddish", Memorial Social & RIDE for friends and associates of our good friend Rodger Reddish who recently passed on to the LIGHT! He was a 78 year old, multi-Stroke patient, who had to mount a oxygen machine on his "Greenspeed AERO" racing trike, he won many medals at the Senior Games doing Time Trials and Races!! He was a FUN and crazy guy, who spread the LOVE of riding a recumbent trike to those both whole and handicaple riders alike! We road the Sinton and Foothills Trails over to the enty sign for the Garden of the Gods City Park, then back to Angletech for fellowship and snacks, a great way to celebrate the LIFE of such a human being! 

LOL, ok finally caught up to current, Chilly today, gray and windy, SNOW coming in Sunday night into Monday Noon so no riding for a while, SPRING in Colorado, ARRUGH!

Let's GO, Ride LOW, RIDE RECUMBENT! BJ :)

February 2024-A photo summary of our last few rides!

Hello all, well as usual I'm behind in updating this blog! Decided to give you all a photo spread off out last few rides! Had a few days of decent weather between snow storms and cold days! 

2-19 No photos but here is a video: 

2-21 Bonus, both a couple of photos and a video! 

2-24 

2-25 Headed up the Pikes Peak Greenway, then east on the Cottonwood Creek Trail, it was really sloppy and several spots were almost covered in ICE!! We made it up to the Cottonwood Regional Park then turned around. It was also REALLY WINDY! We won't be riding on Monday the 26th due to even stronger winds throughout the day and evening!

Well, that's all for now, enjoy the video's, till next report, Ride LOW, Ride SLOW

and Always RIDE RECUMBENT!! BJ Out :)

February 10, 2024-Catching up the Blog, winter's grip is strong here, RATS!

Hello all, well between Family Crisis and Winter Weather, we haven't been able to ride but a few times from Jan. 26th. on!! My Mom passed away and we had a funeral for one of my younger brothers. As things have finally slowed down a little, we did get in a ride our two! I received a "wireless microphone", from a very nice gentleman from Mississippi!! So I have been using the last couple of rides to test it out. Bummer, so far I can't get it to work with the GoPro 6, for some odd reason I can't get the AUDIO in settings to open up so I can input the type of microphone to integrate it into the camera?? The manual, shows 5 settings but the camera just shows, "N/A"?? I've even tried a Factory reset and still, Audio shows only N/A.

So here is a couple of video's and photos of the "Mic Test Rides" for your enjoyment! One is a ride up the Pikes Peak Greenway, Vincent Frontage Road, Nevada Ave. Pathway. The second, is a ride to Manitou Springs, via the Midland and Creek Walk Trail.

  

Sadly as of Feb. 10, today, it's snowing outside with a good chance of 3-6 inches by early Sunday morning, RATS! I'd say we might get out by Wed. or Thurs. but it's going to be a slow melt as the upcoming week high temps will only be in the low 40 F range at best! This El Nina weather pattern has been a ROUGH one for us, as we don't own a car!! Cold, snow, wind, etc. but we just have to "wait" for the best day to load up the trikes and cargo trailer to get Food and Supplies!! Hope GoPro Customer Service can help me with the microphone, will just have to wait and see! Thanks for checking out the blog, "Get on your bike and RIDE"!
