I meant to ride with the FFW this morning but went to the wrong ride start location - I went to Lake Monroe Park, not Lake Monroe Marina! Oh well, good time to check out the new trail extension that will connect Lake Monroe to Lake Beresford.

| This is the start of the trail when you leave Lake Monroe Park. Beautiful and shady. The wood boardwalk only lasts a short stretch, then smooth pavement/asphalt. They just redid it smoothen all the cracks created from tree roots breaking through. |
 |
| Wildflowers along a sunny patch of the trail. I hope they leave this corridor natural, its a real pleasure to cycle through. Not a good place to build up speed though, lots of curves and lots of walkers so you must take it slow. |
 |
| Unfortunately, the trail extension did not extend all the way to the trail that leads to Lake Beresford. You still have to ride on a few sidewalks and on the road for a few miles. Not sure about the construction. I think they were just repaving the road, not adding more trail. I walked my bike around the barricades and kept going. |
 |
| End of the trail. I made it to end and did the tight U-turn for the return trip. Normally I don't like out and backs, but this trail is so pretty, I'm ok with it. |
 |
| Here is a shot of the extension. Definitely a morning ride since the only trees were on the east side of the road. Once the sun gets on the trail, this will be a hot ride. |

And back on the stretch that leads to the parking lot for Lake Monroe. Great ride, even if it was on my own. I like riding the trails much better than the roads.
Now I feel refreshed... got my dose of vitamin Green 💚 |
