The MeadowGrass Music Festival
While the comprehensive city bicycle routes and trails map is (fingers crossed) close to completion and due out sometime this spring, Google Maps has just added a not-entirely-comprehensive-yet-pretty-darn-good bicycling directions to their already excellent maps feature.
While we might take issue with some of the zig-zagging routes and points of entry and exit, the bicycling map function generally finds the route that will keep you off main roads and on trails as much as possible. Here’s what we got when we bicycle-mapped a route from the KRCC studios to Garden of the Gods.
The function doesn’t seem to have made it to iPhone yet, but if you’re looking for something portable and tangible with single-track, we recommend only the finest: The Pikes Peak Atlas (also available at independent mountaineering shops and bookstores).
Welcome to the March 12 episode of Lost & Found Radio where every week we search the web from top to bottom for 1/2 an hour of the the newest independent music anywhere. To listen, you can right click on the link below to download or just click the green play button on the streaming player. Enjoy!

(“I-25 North of Pueblo” by Myron Wood, 1974. (c) Pikes Peak Library District. All rights reserved. 002-1507)
“Highway with Volkswagen minibus with California plates, three people in the front seat and a painted face of young man with long hair and beard and the word ‘Love’ on the front of the bus. A cow skull is hanging from the passenger door.”
Something very Go-Betweens about this song that’s nice.
These guys are fun: laconic Iggy Pop + pacific Violent Femmes + old world Modern Lovers. Who the hell writes generational anthems these days, anyways? They do!
(Monument Park Pool by E.L. Fowler (Gift of Ralph Fowler), 1916. (c) Pikes Peak Library District. All rights reserved, 001-2252.jpg)
“Swimming pool at Monument Valley Park shortly after it opened with stucco building in background. A crowd of people, many holding umbrellas, line the sides of the pool. One person is diving in at the left of the picture.”
Hard to believe it’s been there since 1916. Without a whole lot of financial help, city pools will be closed this summer. Click HERE to learn more and donate.
