Woke up this morning having just made it through a busy semester and I saw on the weather channel that the "area of organized moisture" was moving in fast. Having not planned to do much of anything-aside from some stray Christmas shopping- I decided to cross another ride off the list; what better than a pleasant and simple ride along the Lafayette-Moraga Regional Trail.
The trail is pleasant and leaves one with an autumn in New England type feel. Most of the straightaways look something like the picture below. The trail winds through peaceful suburban neighborhoods and behind houses and through backyards. At one point a toddler tumbled through the fence separating his yard from the trail. He was wielding a lengthy stick and threatening to lodge it into my front spoke. It was a nice pre-winter scene.
Charming backyard view: creative birdhouse neighborhood. No one seemed to be home at the time. I suppose it was 1:30pm on a Tuesday.
The day ended at around 2:20 at the Lafeyette Bart station. Having started at roughly 12:00pm this amounted to a 2ish hour leisurely ride.
