The weekend of the 23rd and 24 was a tough weather weekend. Saturday, I had to endure temperatures in the upper eighties and on Sunday with downpours of rain and lightning. I survived the heat one day and got soaked on Sunday and needed at least a hour to dry out so my ride on Sunday was only around 25/26 miles. Even though the weather didn't play nice I still had a nice weekend of riding.
 
Soon there will be a housing project here. I will miss the fields and the trees.


The lake was looking good even though it was hot out.

Storm clouds beginning to get more organized.

One dandelion that survived the weekly mowing at the park.



Springs flowers are coming out everywhere.

A great weekend to get out and enjoy the cold weather. It was in the upper thirties both days. The wind made riding a bit of a challenge both days but the chilly air made it all worthwhile. Riding with the clear cold air is much better then the hot humid air we get during the summer.
The cold weather made it perfect for great cloud formations all weekend.

Always love how the trees create a canopy over the trail.

Valentine tree at the trail head.

With the cold temperatures and the wind it was chilly by the lake.

You can see signs of Spring blooming along the trail.

Only had time for a short ride on Saturday and thankfully a long ride on Sunday. The temperatures were perfect and had nothing but wonderful sunny skies all weekend.
Small river with a nice little waterfall along the trail.

It was very sunny by the lake this weekend. The wonderful light made the water sparkle.
The fishing pier isn't much for fishing anymore, but it makes a good look out over the lake.

Beautiful February weekend for a couple of bike rides. Temperatures in the 40s in the morning to around 70 by noon and bright sunshine for both days. Did my usual route from the bottom of the trail to the top and a nice stop by the lake on both days. Best pictures from the weekend.


Ducks playing in the pond along the trail.

Some nice old oak trees give some shade along the trail.


Should have brought a fishing pole along.

Beautiful tree by the side of the trail.

Taking a break by the lake.

I could stay by the lake all day enjoying the peace and quiet.
