Wandering the Local Trails

Sometimes it's just fun to get lost on the bike trails around home.

Today was one of those days. One of my morning coffee buddies offered to show me some new trails, and how could I pass up such a wonderful opportunity. With temperatures forecast in the mid seventies and blue skies predicted, I was all over it.

mountains, and local neighborhoods
So we just wandered from one neighborhood trail to the next. It was fun to see both the natural landscape such as lakes, mountains, and prairies and the various man-made landscapes around the houses of all shapes and sizes.

We had to cross a couple busy roads, and that's never fun, but in general, we stayed on the uncrowded trails and relaxed: fresh air, sunshine, exercise, camaraderie, and it was absolutely free entertainment. It just goes to show that an investment in trails pays a lifetime of dividends.
