Celebrating Opening Day For Trails

Today was Opening Day For Trails as proclaimed by the Rails-To-Trails Conservancy.

We celebrated with a couple of rides. First was a group ride I put together on our local rail-to-trail the Prairie Sunset. 13 of us showed up and rode 18 miles with a few stops and surprises along the way.

Group Geocouching! How cool is that?! Read the story behind it here.

Lunch at the Frosty Treat in Garden Plain, KS. It was here that one of the group realized that another in the group had been their teacher in high-school nearly 30 years ago. Another “how cool is that?!”

After our group ride we picked up our Grand-daughter and took her riding along the Arkansas River path in the big city.
