5-2-16  sunset bike ride along the new Loxahatchee bike path:

Don't know if it's officially opened to bikers, but I saw some on it last time we went there and we're running out of time here so I suggested we go for a sunset ride.  As soon as the sun starts dropping down in the sky, it really feels great out here.  We didn't get too far.  By the time we got over to Loxahatchee, it was after 7pm.  Fortunately we were heading against the wind the first part of our ride.  Only made it a little over 3 miles before we decided we better be heading back since there are no lights out that way. 
Here the buzzards are scattering away from us.

Sort of an odd ride.  One side was mostly concrete down to low brush. 

The other side had a canal next to it.  Did see one gator and a few birds.  

 where we turned around we came upon a road.  If we had stayed on the berm path for another 10 miles, we should have come to the main Loxahatchee Federal Park entrance.  I believe there is a path going all the way around the lake now for something like 50 miles.  A month or so ago I did the path going the other direction which was much more interesting.

 heading back hoping to see a great sunset.

 not the best of sunsets.

That was about the extent of it.

Going to miss the flat biking of south Florida.  But at least we have a Preserve with trails adjacent to our new place in Buford.
