Since I can't ride and I am going crazy I am going to post some older photos from one of my favorite picnic rides.







This is an abandoned off-shoot of the very popular bike trail by our house, although it took a beating recently when it was used as a trail detour for a long time. It's not any fun on a road bike because it's not maintained any more, but it's fine on my mixte (sprung saddle, fatter tires). We picnic here by the river a lot.

These photos are more exciting than they look, too, because about five minutes after we took them some kids came up and told us that there was a body in the river right below us. No foul play, just an elderly woman and a very sad story, but we haven't done much picnicking there ever since.
