May 10 New River biking

Bleeding hearts

The wildflowers were out on the New River Trail today. The Bleeding hearts seen above were all in a small area near where Chestnut Creek enters the New River. 

Fire Pink

Here is some Fire Pink in the same area as the Bleeding Hearts.

We had a group of 11 riders. Within the first mile we had already split into 3 groups. Threatening skies finally gave way to good weather. It was a comfortable temperature all day. One day after struggling on Grandfather mountain, I felt fine but did only pedal 20 miles.
