Anywayz, I think from your description that be you.
I do tool up the Midland Trail from America the Beautiful park after coming from whatever direction, but only need to go to Old Colorado City and home. I did take the Midland Trail, once, a few weeks ago, and got the only flat so far, so kinda soured me on that link.
Also, I will check out the CS Cycling Club too. Felt I needed to get into decent shape to keep up with people tho think I've been able to do ok... having lost 20+ lbs in 60 days. And good sustainability, most likely a legend in my own mind.
What should I bark if I think I see you next time? Are you a Clydesdale!
LOL, well I'm not huge but I'm still a Clyde at 230lbs. I don't get up to the Rockrimmon area much, I do the Pikes Peak Greenway trail from Potter St. up past Criterium Cycles several times a week, usually ride up to Woodmen and then head down Corporate Center Drive as fast as I can, (lol, my lowly version of a time trial) back to Criterium and them back down the PPG, then head east to where I live at La Salle and Clemson, (basicly, Constitution and Academy). The Colorado Springs Cycling Club has everything from social rides to training rides so I'm sure you'll fit in. Hey, you've got a road bike, that's a step up over my hybrids so hook up when you can. My Coda Sport is my utility/everyday bike which is what I ride during the week, for the weekend I ride my "trekking hybrid", a Jamis Allegro 1 with the odd looking "trekking" bars. I also only wear "plain colored jersey's", unless it's a Club ride then I wear the club's 25th. anniversary jersey. Have a most excellent day!
