cold! but took the mbs over to Felburn Park at the Withlachochee Bay Trail. Rode the east side of the paved trail and then decided to take the birding trail around the lake. Last time we were there it was too sandy. But, with the recent rains, it was much easier to ride. The property is about 140 acres and the trail goes around a large man made lake. Years ago this was a limerock mining area and the east side of the lake has a huge hill with a kiosk and bench at the top. Very interesting ride. Not long, only about 6 miles but some good hill climbing. The picture below shows the birding trail in purple.

This is a view from the top of the hill overlooking the lake. I didn't take it but it shows how high the hill really is.

Several days ago we were in Flagler Beach and did manage to ride the Lehigh paved trail. Luckily we were pretty bundled up as it was cold and windy and fortunately it was a short trail. We also rode our bikes around the trails at the state park. Sounds like tomorrow will be warmer so we'll probably head down to Inverness and ride the Withlachochee.
