Itinerary:
When I noticed that it's going to be Sunny and 72 tomorrow, I decided I just had to get out there and enjoy it!

Sneak away for a long lunch tomorrow, if you can, and join me for a short bike ride on the easy trails at Blanket's Creek. Although the trails are easy, you'll need either a mountain bike or some type of hybrid... skinny road bike tires would pop quickly on some of the rocks or roots you'll go over.

If you've never been to Blanket's Creek, you're in for a pleasant surprise. The trails are extremely well-maintained and quite scenic, especially by the river. I enjoy hiking and taking pictures here as much as I enjoy biking the easy and intermediate trails.

Blanket's Creek requires that you wear a helmet, and so do I. You'll also need to bring $1 to cover the trail maintenance fee; donation box is at the trailhead.

We'll spend 45 minutes to an hour taking an easy pace on the basic trails, and you are welcome to stay and keep riding after that... but I'm going to have to get back to work!

Hope to see you out there tomorrow!
