yes I did. Yesterday we went down to Tampa with the intention of riding the Suncoast Trail. About the time we got there it started pouring. So, we went further down into Tampa off of I-75 and Fletcher to the Wilderness Trail. My husband has been down there and done the mb trails and said that they had a paved path. We did about 14 miles of which about 10 were on pavement and the rest was on shell rock up on a levee. Just about the time we started on the one way paved loop, it started raining. Luckily no lightening so we donned the rain gear and kept going. The trail was nice and had several lean tos and covered rest stop areas. By the time we got back we looked like we had been playing in the mud. Both the bikes and us were covered in mud. We did have several wildlife sightings. Lots of turkeys and several deer.

Today we went to Hawthorne and rode the Gainesville/Hawthorne trail. I did my first 28 miler and actually felt pretty good when we finished. My top speed was about 18 but not for long. I think I averaged about 12 overall. At least we had no rain today. The weather was gorgeous. There was a wonderful breeze off of Paines Prairie at the overlook where we stopped for a quick break. It almost felt like a fall day. Had a nice lunch at a local BBQ place and now we're home and I'm headed to the recliner for a nap.
