Our First Bike Ride of the Season!

The weekend was warm – Saturday more so than Sunday, but we decided to pull the bike out of the shed and head out for parts unknown. Over the years, we’ve traveled all over these roads, but after a few months, some felt unfamiliar. Our first stop was at the Bonnechere River – it was awesome. I pulled out my pocket camera only to discover that it wouldn’t turn on. I immediately thought my battery had died. So I then took a few pictures with my cell phone.

We headed to the other side, I again took out my pocket camera and this time it turned on – thank goodness!

We crossed the street and rode down a little road that gave a better view. Across the river, it looked as if there might be a few caves. I wonder . . .

Bike is getting old, but it looks darn good. We’re planning a bike trip in June – it’s been a long time since we’ve done that – about eight years.

The famous Douglas Tavern – lots of partying going on there every year on St. Patrick’s Day.
