Bike Riding

Today, Sunday, we went bike riding in Manitowoc.
We started at Eight Street, which is the beginning of the trail and rode to, Two Rivers and back.
What an absolutely perfect day to have done this.
The sky was a beautiful blue, with big fluffy Cumulus Clouds to the left of us, long thin Stratus Clouds to the right of us, while above we experienced the feathery wispy Cirrus Clouds. It was a picture perfect day with no wind. Of course being in Manitowoc it was in the low 70's, which is my kind of weather.
The ride around the Marina, all the way to Two Rivers is a delightful ride, with paved trails. You see more shoreline in this area then any other place around Lake Michigan.
Oh yes, we saw two young adults riding trikes. The trikes had no seat on them. They had to stand up and peddle. The wheels where roller blades. They said it was a really good work out. Found it to be very interesting. I will stick with my bike!!!

Yesterday we rode our bikes from Allensville to the University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh. Stopped in Oshkosh at Fratello's for a vegetarian pizza.
Most of the ride is on the Wiouwash Trail. It was windy, hot, and humid. If it had not been for the trees along the trail, it could have been a very uncomfortable ride.

On Friday, starting from our homes, (by the Fox River Mall) we road our bikes to the West American Drive Trail. We then road over the Trestle Trail in Menasha, to Jefferson Park. This is one of my favorite trails as it is all paved, all the way to the Trestle Trail. Jefferson Park, being along the water, makes for a very pretty ride. By the time we get back home it makes for a 20 mile, plus bike ride.

Bike riding is just so much fun. Every time Mary and I go out, it is a new adventure.
