Another ride on my Motobecane 700HT on the Kingwood greenbelt trails. Today my son-in-law rode with me. The pace was slower but who is in a hurry with the sun shining and the blue sky. It could have bee a few degrees warmer but I dressed with shorts, leg warmers, short and long jerseys and a windbreaker jacket. It wasn’t too cool (63 degrees) but when we rode in the shade it got cooler.

This time we rode through East End Park along Alligator Alley and then on trails back to the park exit. Alligator Alley has stretches of trail with crushed granite but over the swap areas a raised wood walk keeps you about 2 feet or so above the water. It is about 3 feet wide so you need to pay attention going through the turns. After we left the wood trail I thought to take pictures. Maybe next time. I told my son-in-law not to fall off the raised wood walk way; I didn’t want to tell my daughter the alligators got him. Some of the trail was grass with a few spots of rock. This might qualify as singletrack if you stretch the definition some.

With this ride I reached my 6500 mile goal for 2015. I am at 6505 miles. If the weather cooperates I plan on adding to that.
