It was a great ride yesterday. Great to get back out on the bike after being rained out for nearly two weeks. The rain has made everything bloom at Rock Cut State Park. Young trees and scrub brush has taken over the singletrack in places and just staying on the trail meant getting whipped in the face by leaves and twigs. But the sky was blue and the air was warm, thick with the smell blossoming things, a cocktail of honeysuckle and lilac.

Seems everyone else has been rained out the past couple weeks too and was busy catching up on lawn mowing and other springtime landscaping to go out for a ride. I took a short solo ride, just over 13 miles, one lap around pierce lake. The trails were in amazingly good shape. A little muddier in the parts that are always muddy, but otherwise dry.

Here is the route from my Garmin Edge 205.
