Rode the bike trail around Huntington Beach State Park today with ALL of Amy's family. We road the paved trail that leads from Murrell's Inlet to near Pawley's Island. We did not bike the whole thing, but did manage about 7 miles together. It was nice. Especially on the paved sections that ran curvy through the maritime forest. Not to hot, until we got out of the cover of the forest, then BAM! Heat!
Not a very aggressive ride considering the folks that came along, but hey, I was riding a bike. We were a funny site all seven of us on our bikes. We took a wide variety of bikes from my twelve speed to a hybrid bike to a couple of mountain bikes, and Amy's Mom's cruiser bike. The boys held on in their trailer. We saw lots of gators on the causeway of the park. Kinda a strane being only a few feet from something that usually sits behind a cage.
After the ride we ate lunch, and walked around Atalaya. Lunch was nice under the shade of hemlock tree and we listened to the sounds of the surf and ocean birds gathered nearby. I have a funny picture of all of us on our bikes near the dunes that I will upload later.
Next Goal: Tri the Pee Dee
Current Status: Cooling Off from a hot day in the sun
