Yep.... Got out for a ride or 2 Sunday... Six of us went to the grand opening of the mountain bike trail at Mosses Creek Sunday morning. Mosses Creek is St. Johns Water Management land, it is on State Road 206 just before the draw bridge near Crescent Beach. I used to ride the multi use trails there all of the time. They added about 5 miles of single track just for mountain biking now though. It was fun, and they did an awesome job cutting the trail but..... Just a bit too many palmetto roots for my liking. Sections of the trail were great and sections just toooo many roots. The 6 of us did a loop on the trail and then we kind of split up and 3 did the loop again and 3 of us checked out some of the other trails. The 3 that did the loop again (not me) did it a bit faster, kind of racing each other... We found out later all 3 of them either fell or hit a tree... Here is a short youtube video I shot of part of the trail that was a bit less full of roots..

On the way home from the Mountain bike ride.... Got a text from a friend asking if was going to do the normal Sunday afternoon ride... Sooo after messing around in Palatka for a little while I just took my mountain bike and drove straight to the PLB trail and did a short leisurely ride (12 miles) with friend & his new girlfriend who just started riding...

Great day on the bike... Lots of laughs and fun.... and the weather was awesome.....

DirecTV blimp following State Road 100 while riding the PLB trail. The other 3 were at Mosses Creek... Weird tree on the MTB trail and pictures at the scenic overlook on the older multi use trails.
