Today My sister Liz, brother in law Dennis and I rode from Heyburn park to Harrison Idaho well actually Springington trail head which is about 3 miles further. The ride was breathtakingly beautiful. The day was over cast and I thought I would be cold because of the wind. But I took off my jacket after a bit. We stopped at Harrison to listen to a song as there was a band playing.
This trail is very special as it changes from going along the lake to a more wetlands area. We did not do the big hill to Plumber but next time I want to do that. Hills and I are not compatible yet. The pace was between 12 and14 miles an hour which is good for me. I had heard about the heads winds and was relieved that it did not get too bad until right before the bridge and we were almost back to the car by then.
The entire trail is 70 some miles long. I would love to do the whole thing or in parts this summer.
I am feeling so blessed to have this trail as well as the Centennial Trail so close.
My goal is to try to do 75- 100 miles a week throughout the summer.
According to my pyramid.gov I burned 875 calories in one hour and this ride took two hours so maybe some of that stupid weight will start to come off.
