Yesterday we went to Jim Thorpe PA

to ride the Lehigh River Gorge Bike Trail .

The trail follows an abandoned railroad corridor along the Lehigh River.

We took a shuttle bus to the top of the gorge
and rode the trail 25 miles back to town.
It was one hot day but the trail was shaded almost the whole way
and there were waterfalls every so often
that cooled the air for about 1/10 of a mile.

Dave got a flat tire and she helped to fix it,
everyone on the trail was friendly.

The Mountain Laurel were blooming

I think we saw every shade of green that there is on the trail.

It was a beautiful trail , it’s a 2% downhill grade, I had envisioned coasting on a leisurely ride but we had to pedal the whole way,
it wasn’t a hard ride but I was tired.

I want to go again in the fall.
