Kayaking from Juniper Springs, Aug 23

Went with El, Diane, and five of Diane's friends on a kayak trip from Juniper Springs. The current was really moving (we even found a little white water), but it was tight!! Definitely needed paddling skills to get around the logs and branches. We saw three alligators and a bunch of turtles. It was a fun day out even if it was tough staying out of the trees. El said many times, "one and done", and I have to agree with her. There are much better places to paddle in central FL.

Rather than make three posts, I'm combining three bike outings in one post. Friday was a regular favorite, the Tour de Willa with Frank and Carlos, then Saturday was biking around Lake Monroe with El, and Sunday was a new ride with the FFW, Orlando Murals. All were great for different reasons and really, any day on the bike with friends is great.  I probably won't post every ride I do. Every weekend I try to get out there. My goal for 2022 is to ride 2000 miles. I think I'm almost to 900 and we are more than halfway through the year, so I need to pick it up a bit! I've started doing some rides with Nona Cycle too, so that gives me more options. Once the temps cool down I'll be able to go longer. Right now we are reaching 95+ degrees everyday with no relief in sight. Frank's Tour de Willa group. It can be anywhere from three to ten people, never a big group, but that's ok. It's a set 25 mile route... no changes, no surprises. I forgot to get a picture of ...

FFW Holiday Ride, Baldwin Park, Dec 11

My first holiday ride with the FFW. I still need to keep showing up to these things to establish a wider network of friends. I rode the ride by myself, but did engage in a little small talk, so that was a win. After the ride, the club had cookies and wine, so there was more small talk.   I can't believe I actually bought this jacket!! I wanted to look festive, but this is a bit ridiculous!  The gaudiest house gets all the attention! The ride was quite pretty. Many houses were well decorated. This one was just over the top so of course we stopped to get pictures.
