Tried to ride on Davis Bike Loop

In spite of sluggish wake up in the morning, beautiful weather was calling us to go on a trip for riding.  We loaded our bikes and hit the road again. That was the second time visiting UC Davis yesterday.  This time we wanted to see some streets outside of the UC campus, so we tried to ride following the map of Davis Bike Loop.

We dropped by the Welcome center, then took Hutchison Dr. of the loop up to Sprocket, but we lost the way going under La Rue Rd, actually we didn't realize we should look for the place, anyway we crossed the road by walking and somehow found Orchard Rd and reached the exciting bike bridge above Hwy 113 and rode across.  That was awesome!  Smoothly we found the bike path along Russell Blvd to the West.
From there we didn't see so many cyclists any more and really relaxed.
Seeing agricultural land and horses having happy time on the left we were enjoying the paved, wide bike path continuing a long way which I've never seen before.  In addition speedy cars are just driving on a separate road over the tree line.  What a happy environment!





That long path was behind us.

Later I thought that I should have noticed at this moment, we might have ridden too much on Russell.  But we didn't notice.  Just rode and rode happily along Russell all the way to the end of Bike Path. agrrr....


Oh, that is the end of the path!

Since we rode quite a bit more than last time, I was just happy so took the same way back to UC.

When he lost the way and got out of the campus, I saw Whole Foods.  Yes! Get some drinks and sweets.  Ginger Soother and Cheese Danish.

When we got back to the parking lot.  My cyclometer showed it.  


Yeah, 15.76 miles!  I was satisfied very much.  When we got back home, we were really, really tired.

Now next day we both woke up with stiffness all over our body everywhere.  But we both had fun yesterday very much. 
I worked in our garden and he helped me too.

I hope we can ride tomorrow.
