Yep... Rode Friday... Let it be known ... Sand is NO LONGER a friend of mine. I am un friending sand on Facebook, Un following sand on twitter ... and so on... Decided to ride from the south entrance of Etoniah Creek State forest to the north entrance. I have ridden most of the way before but never in one stretch. It ended up being 15.55 miles total (out and back). Some tough miles in the mix too. Quite a bit of sand in some of the areas. I think it took me about 1hr 50mins of ride time. I had fun.. was a good work out and some cool trails (that weren't sand)..

An actual picture of Etoniah Creek. A couple of years ago the water was higher and it was a clear running stream without all of that vegetation. Had a sandy bottom and everything. I remember at the time thinking... man that would be nice to just "sit in" on a HOT summer day in the middle of a bike ride... Not so much now...


One of the many sandy stretches today. This one was about 1/3 mile long and slightly uphill.


Just a picture of the northern trail head. Actually part of the Florida trail & forest trail for about 3 miles I think..
