Better weather today, another enjoyable bike ride



The weather was better today. A bit warm and humid, and cloudy in the morning but no rain, so Pat and I biked a beautiful section of the Confederation trail:

From Morell to St Peters, about 12 km along St Peters Bay shore
The green area above St Peters Bay is Greenwich National Park
Lots of water views across the Bay


Bridges where needed

 
Ripe blackberries along the Trail

 
Yum!

 
Colourful Joe-Pye weed along the Trail

Some trail maintenance, keeps things looking good.
Across St Peter's Bay as it is narrowing
 
At the end of the Bay- town of St Peters.


 St Peters was the end of the ride today, an easy 12 km. I'm told this is maybe the prettiest stretch of the Confederation Trail, but all of the sections we've ridden have been really nice. Pat goes back to work tomorrow, so this is the end of the bike rides for now. Thanks Pat and Nancy!

    1. We left Joe Pye weed behind at our Flesherton place. The butterflies really liked it too

  4. My Joe Pye weed is in bloom for the first time ever - nice to see lots of it. The deer have eaten mine in other years. I hope you have some lovely places to cycle in Bayfield.
