We had great weather this morning, 70⁰F when I left home at 8:00 AM and 86⁰F with wind gusts up to 23 mph and very humid when I got back this afternoon. Met my friend and his son at the Buddhist Temple and rode the West Orange Trail. Rode south around Lake Apopka to Kilarney then took the South Lake Trail west to almost Rt. 27 before turning around. Hundreds of cyclist out on the trail today. In my rush to get going this morning I left my 2 water bottles and camel back on the patio so I had to stop at the local 7-11 and buy some water.

Today’s wildlife count: 2 peacocks and one ostrich.
