Heading into late October and the unstable late fall weather patterns! So here is a few more rides, enjoy!
October 17-Just a beautiful day for a ride and the Creekside Coffee House too
Just a bit of Indian Summer on this Saturday so we had to get in a ride, headed out to get an errand in and then via the T-Gap Trail, back over to the Cottonwood Creek Trail and headed to the Creekside Coffee House for our bag lunch and iced tea. We thought it might be "hot tea", but it warmed up enough heading up the trail to change back to "iced tea"! The surprise was a "Family Halloween Carnaval was being held so the grounds were packed. We did find a table, and they were happy to get tea for us, so we enjoyed the madness and they even said a prayer for us, not bad at all! After that we rode back down Cottonwood Creek to the Pikes Peak Greenway and stopped for a late afternoon 2nd. tea and snack bar and then headed back to the apartment.

October 18-Food Run and Lunch Ride
Ah, time again for a Bi-Monthly Food Run to the Walmart Market just off the Rock Island Trail and Union Blvd. Did the shopping, loaded the cargo trailer and headed back to the apartment to stow away the food and supplies. Decided we wanted a good hot dog so we headed up to Smash Burger at the UVC Center of the PP Greenway-North. Man, they were Jam-Packed so it took a bit of time to get our order, but it was worth it, excellent dogs and the Bunns are excellent!
Decided to do just the Vincent St. Bridge Loop so we headed under Nevada Ave over to the "Cracked Trail" and Nevada Ave access trail over to the Vincent St. Bridge, looped around and then headed west on the Cottonwood Creek Trail.
Back to the PP Greenway, getting late we just headed back to the apartment and called it a day!

October 19- Out and About on the Rock Island Trail
Been a bit since we rode to the current ending point of the Rock Island Trail at Powers Blvd. It was a bit of a chilly morning, we got to a small, dirt trail that heads to Constitution Place over to Constitution Ave. Picked up the sidewalk down to Powers Blvd and crossed over to get to Whataburger with a really nice patio area for our bag lunch and iced tea. Only problem it was in the shade with a bit of breeze so by lunch end, we both had goosebumps!!
Headed back to the Rock Island and then rode to the endpoint and did a turnaround. We headed back down and over to the PP Greenway a bit, then headed to Building 3 Coffee Roasters for their very smooth iced GREEN tea and a snack bar. Headed back to the PP Greenway and then decided to keep riding south to Duck Lake for a video shoot and then it was late afternoon and headed back home, a very enjoyable ride and got a needed errand done too!
