We went on a 25 mile bike ride yesterday. We drove to Tarpon Springs, parked the truck and got our bikes out on the Pinellas Trail. The trail goes all the way to St. Petersburg. Christy, Maisie and Alice might remember a bike trip with Dad on this southern part of the trail.
It was a beautiful cool day... perfect for a long bike ride. Temps were upper 60's (cool for down here). Sunshine galor and a little windy, but an absolutely lovely day. We were on our way to Dunedin when came upon a historical site on the trail.
Next, checking out America's #1 Beach, Caledesi Island, Florida. We got off the Pinellas Trail at this point and got on a bike path to the area where we could see the Island. We crossed over a drawbridge for tall boats/ships and then could see the beautiful beach from the Honeymoon Island area. When the weather is warmer and seas not so rough, we are going to kayak out to Caledsi and spend the day. There is a kayak rental area at this location, so it looks like it is a popular fun tourist thing to do. If any of you want to visit, we could try to do this while you are here. Sounds good to me, any takers??
Behind me, in the background, is Honeymoon Island. Off the point of Honeymoon Island is Caledsi Island, which you can kind of see in the picture on the right. See the white sand on both islands? That is not too far to kayak, right? There are no bridges to Caledsi, so you have to either ferry, boat or kayak. I can hardly wait... we better bring the sunblock when we go.
We continued our bike ride back to the Pinellas Trail and went a little further south to Dunedin, one of our favorite places to visit. Dad took me to the Dunedin Brewery for refreshments. Rested up a bit and hit the trail to return to the truck. Our trip took about 4 hours and we had a great time together. Nothing like incorporating exercise and pleasure together.
Looking foward to visitors!!
