Didn't start out intending to bike all the way up to the Winooski river today, but once I got on the trail, I never wanted to stop.



I found places where people swim in the lake. Unofficially:


And officially:


You bike and bike and bike through woods and hills and I took a detour into the suburbs to get some sunscreen(!) but eventually I got to the old train bridge across the Winooski. If you look east off the bridge, you see the river:


If you look west off the bridge, it's all lake and mountains:



Either way it's pretty spectacular. The bike took a break to look:


After the bridge there's a little causeway and then some suburbs. I didn't find the end of the trail; not sure how much further it goes on.


Here's me and the bike enjoying the bridge:


When I got back to the house, there was the neighbor's cat in the garage:


He's a Hemingway cat!


We communed for a while:


I think I biked maybe 12-14 miles, which is small potatoes, but I will sleep well tonight!

Love,
