For those of you who are new to this page, this photo was taken on the American Tobacco Trail near Apex, NC.
Yesterday evening I finally took the plunge, borrowed a friend's bike to see if I could still ride, after 'countless' years, and headed to the Tobacco Trail to ride with Keith:) It's good to know I still can do it--although wobbly:( This was a boy's bike and I have short legs so it was a bit of a challenge. I'm not used to a bike seat either and this one was quite narrow, and that's all I'll say on that!
In spite of those comfy issues the ride was perfect! The old train bed is basically flat trail, the weather was in the high 60's (perfect biking temp.), and the honeysuckle and other flowering fragrances made the ride sweet:) We went over 4 miles; a good first ride for a rusty girl:)
A grand way to spend an evening:)

Congratulations on your ride on the American Tobacco Trail! The American Tobacco Trail, or ATT, is the result of the efforts of a lots of volunteers, as well as municipal staff over many years.
Be sure to check out the other open sections of it in Durham, and in Chatham County.

Boy, am I proud of you. Even with all the adversity of the bike things, you persevered and rode 4 miles!!!! What a trooper.
I LOVE riding the ATT and am so glad others are getting "on the bandwagon" and discovering what a great place it is to ride, walk, wander, roam, ramble, prowl etc., in the moments you have to do that. It is a BLESSING and a privilege.
