Yesterday Jim had the day off so we were able to go on a bike ride. We parked at Riverside park. From there we followed the Colorado River, past Banana’s fun park and all the way up Redlands Parkway into South Rim subdivision. I can’t say how hard that was!! Two huge hills back to back to climb! The only good thing about climbing hills is coming down.
We came down from South Rim into the connected lakes section of the River Trail. We rode through that section, past the Albertsons shopping center and over the bridge on Grand back to Riverside Park.
It was about 10 miles in all. It was hard work (to quote our President), and if it wasn’t for the migraine that was threatening to present itself, it would have been really enjoyable. This time of year is my favorite, with the trees changing and perfect temperatures.
We’ll probably take that same loop tomorrow. The only part that makes us both nervous about it is for a short time while riding along Redlands Parkway, we’re riding next to oncoming traffic with no barriers to protect us. I have to force my overactive imagination to not overact.
