Late Fall Ride 10-29-2016

Saturday it was in the Mid 70's so we decided to take a ride. This years riding was completely screwed up by my heel injury, but as it is so nice out for so late in the year, maybe we can get some riding in yet this year.

They finally have the bridge over the Feeder canal completed and the bike Path underpass is complete. Very nice, instead of the narrow, dark tunnel with a sharp 90 degree turn at the south end there is now a wide, bright, lots of head room and gentle curve on the south end.

We rode south as far as the East Bound lane on I-88, where the path was flooded, the canal is too high for this time of year, time they closed the gate some and stop flooding the path.

So we rode across the dam and rode to Sinnissippi Park and on to Woodlawn Park and came home.

On our way home we saw this tree, just beautiful, soon they all will look like this.

Last Ride 2015

On November 2, 2015 we made our last ride. We rode the path across the dam and called it a year. It was a beautiful day considering it was the first of November.
