Biking the River Walk Again

Another great Sabbath afternoon on the River Walk a week ago yesterday. We were surprised to see the water flowing through the dam, but shouldn't have been since this is the time of year they lower the water level above the dam.



We got a later start than we wanted to so biked straight downtown without stopping even once for pictures. So it was nice to get off the bike seats once we got up on the Walnut Street Bridge.

It seemed to be a little easier on our back sides though this time than three weeks before when we biked it for our first time. Randy is wanting to go again this afternoon, but I'm staked out down here updating my blog first.

A crazy boater was fishing in the strong current below the dam and seemed to be having fun racing around soon after casting his line and drifting fast with the current. It was after sunset at the end of our ride that we watched that so we didn't take any pictures. We did picnic there by the dam - fortunately the picnic pavilion has lights. There were still some trees with brilliant fall colors for our enjoyment. We just wish we'd started biking this 17-mile round trip trail sooner. It's very enjoyable. I think we're about to head out again!
