Another cool day for a nice long bike ride. We drove an hour to the trail head of the Withlacoochee State Trail. This is a 46 mile rail to trail bike path and equestrian trail (occasional poo piles). We did not do the 92 miles out and back... no way would I even attempt it. However, Dad just did 73 miles the other day when I was working. CooCoo!! We did 32 miles total today and we are both quite tired. Picture on right was an area on the trail that had all these oak trees with Spanishmoss flowing from them. Can't say that we see that on just any trail.
We stopped for lunch after 16 miles, but didn't know where the restaurant was. It didn't take us long to figure out if we followed the horse droppings on the road, that we would probably find the trail hang-out. Our hunch was correct. We found an unusual place. There was a place to tie up your horse, a watering trough for the horses, tented outside eating or inside the diner seating. There was an interesting mix of guests. Some were bike riders, some were cowboys or cowgirls, some were Harley bikers, some were locals... very interesting place with the most delicious cheeseburgers I've ever had.
