Got in a chilly ride on Thursday 11th. of Feb. Sadly the last ride before a serious Artic Cold Front for the next several days!
I headed over the Sinton trail to the Foothills trail that goes along the outside of the Garden of the Gods Park here in Co. Springs, it was suppose to get up to 42 F but never got above 31 F and on the downhill parts of the trails I could feel the COLD on my forehead even wearing a skull cap and helmet!! I took a break at the Overlook off of 31st. Street before heading back to the Foothills trail over to the 31st. St. bike lane.

Rode over to Pikes Peak Ave. and stopped an a Wendy's for a small bowl hot chili, warmed up a bit, picked up the Midland Trail heading east back into Downtown Co. Springs, then took the Pine St. trail to the Pikes Peak Greenway and over the Popcycle Bridge back to our Apartment. 20 miles RT! Glad I did the ride, even with the chilly temps!
