On this episode of "Checking In @" The Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort checked in at the 2026 Colorado Springs St. Patrick's Day Parade sponsoring an entry for all of the Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs cycling clubs to participate in and share the spirit of Cycling in the Springs.

Ring the Peak - the Vision Becoming a Reality The Ring the Peak Trail is one of Colorado Springs’ boldest outdoor visions and it just got a major boost. Local non-profit the Pikes Peak Outdoor Recreation Alliance (PPORA) has secured a $2.5 million grant to help move the 63-mile continuous loop around the base of Pikes Peak closer to completion. We explore how this funding will help shape the future of Colorado Springs, and how it will enhance outdoor access and tourism across the Pikes Peak Region. Podcast listeners can find this episode by searching for Pedal the Springs on their podcast app. The episode can be found on the web here: https://studio809podcasts.com/ring-the-peak/
