A nice long weekend with three long rides. I went over 120 miles over the weekend. The weather didn't cooperate very well. I had one nice day and then spent the rest of the weekend fighting rain and winds up to 30 mph. But bad weather or not I still enjoyed my rides. I saw the ghost chickens that show up out of nowhere randomly and saw two deer but I wasn't able to get any pictures of them.

Some nice trees along the top part of the trail.

Once the rain went by the sun tried to come out.

I pretty much had the trail to myself most of the weekend. The wind
and rain kept everyone home.

Some nice wild flowers by the road side.

The wind wore me down each day. It was time for a break.

I sometimes see otters in this little pond, but just the nice fountain today.

A nice weekend of nice long rides. One of 35 and then 42 miles on Sunday. Maybe not long rides by most standards but long rides for me. Nice cool temperatures and nice spring breezes both days. Hardly anyone on the trails again. They missed out on a great weekend of riding.


Beautiful spring day.

Nothing but sunshine all day.

Some nice trees by the trail..

The northern part of the trail has a much more country feel.

The pond was full of ducks to watch.

Cool temperatures and beautiful weather was the rule for a great weekend of riding. I got in a nice 35 and 30 mile ride. I so much enjoy the weather we have in the late winter early spring. Plenty of people were out on the trail all weekend and sometimes you had to be careful with a traffic jam here and there.

Beautiful day by the lake.

No fish were jumping but saw a turtle swim by.

Taking a break by the park.

Plenty of small lakes all over the area.

Open land by the trail. No cows today.

One of the very nice soccer fields at the park.
Saw some very large fish in the retention pond. Need to bring my fishing pole next weekend.

I got three rides in this weekend. We had nice cold temperatures all weekend. I started out in the upper thirties and finished in the fifties each day. The cold temps meant I was one of the few riders on the trail since most bicyclist disappear when it gets cold in Florida. I was hoping for one longer ride but I ended up with three in the thirty mile range. A great weekend of riding.


I found Jaws and Nemo ready for the attack along the trail.

Cows taking a break and trying to stay warm during the cold morning

Some great cloud formations on both days. The wind made wonderful patterns in the sky.

Almost like someone was making swirls in the sky.

Nice day by the lake.

It was very windy both days. This hawk is doing his best to deal with the wind gusts.
