October 10- PPRRN Meet & Eat Ride to Good Neighbors Meeting House for Lunch

Time again for the monthly PPRRN Meet & Eat, this month of October. Jo and I headed up to Criterium Bike Shop, just off the Pikes Peak Greenway. We are using it as a "meet point" to lead a ride over to the Templeton Gap Trail, east to Union Blvd. We pick up a short accessway to Templeton Gap Road, cross Fillmore St. and continue on the T-Gap Road bike lane to head west on the Rock Island Trail, picked up, Shooks Run Trail, south to Columbia St. and the Good Neighbors Meeting House for the EAT part of the ride. 

If you're not able to ride, we encourage meeting us and joining in. We had 4 riders and one person that was recuperating from a minor injury. ate, talked and enjoyed a beautiful day in So. Colorado! That was the "official" end of the ride/meet but we ended up taking Jill back to the Sinton Trail towards her home as she needed to go to a meeting of some sort. Jo and I went up to the Garden of the Gods Rd./Centennial Blvd intersection to see if the actually, closed down a Starbucks we have used in the past to get iced tea, RATS, it's closed up, they even took down the signs!! So, we headed to the Mavrick Station and had our iced tea and snack bar.

We headed back on the Sinton Trail to the PPGW and back to the apartment.
