Well, it's been almost a month since I retired, and I've been racking up the miles on my new "commute" route. I've mostly been riding on our local greenways, which comprise an extensive network of mostly paved trails throughout the metro area. I couldn't have asked for nicer weather, and it's been one of our warmest and driest February's on record. As a result, my cycling mileage is close to my highest ever for this month. These shots were all taken along the Neuse River Trail, which follows the river for more than 30 miles with no vehicle traffic whatsoever. The trail crosses the river on some spectacular suspension bridges, follows boardwalks through a number of wetlands and connects to several parks.
