Memorial Day ride!!

[KnottedYet]

Did 45 miles so I could go to the LBS and get a bolt for my front fender.

Had a picnic lunch (Lara Bar and a coke from the LBS) sitting on a dock looking at this view:


On the way home stopped at another park for a while. This is the church across the street from the park. Much prettier than my picture, all the plants are blooming like crazy!


This is Crow, resting at the park. Note the nicely attached fender. Thanks Recycled Cycles!


All the flowers were blooming all along my route. Waves of roses (wild and cultivated) and wild iris and riotous gardens. At one point I rode through a huge patch of lavender, and the smell was glorious! The morning was a mix of clouds and sun, and the sunlight sparkling on the gray water was so pretty.

DH & I host a small music camping gathering every year this weekend, so we didn't get to ride for 3 days. This morning it was wonderful to get a small 12 miler in. Felt so good!
I saved a 6" painted turtle today during my ride. Removed her from the middle of the road and put her in a huge pond with others of her ilk.

Divingbiker- that Korean War memorial is very moving and very haunting- thank you for posting the picture.

DIving BIker- I guess I could have googled that! Thank you so much; I agree with Lisa that is a very moving yet haunting memorial. I honestly thought there wasn't one, it is such a forgotten war. Back in school we spent about 20 minutes going over it.
