Trip Report

The forecast deceived us. Instead of a sunny 59°F, we started cycling in Cottage Grove in a cloudy and windy 50°F. We needed all our warm clothes to start the ride. By the time we got to Mosby Creek, everyone was warmed up. Then the sun peeked near Lake Dorena, shining on picturesque and peaceful trail. <br />
Some parts of our familiar trail have become quite bad due to many spots of root-uplifted pavement.<br />
After a snack break at Culp Creek, we headed back to Bohemia Park, stopping at the Lake Dorena dam for a great view. Someone said that\'s great to ride with a great bunch. Who doesn\'t love cycling 33 miles on a Sunday?
