May 14 Foster Falls Bicycle Ride





I got an early start on the trail today, before 9am. Leaving from Foster Falls, it is downhill going north (east). The vegetation was lush but blooms were lacking with the exception of Phlox. Trail conditions were mixed. In the Foster Falls area where horses are permitted, the trail is compromised for cyclists as you'd expect. Further out, it gets better and generally is a nice bicycling experience.

The river was full today and brown. I could see it moving quite quickly. In spots were there were riffles or rapids, the roar was more that usual.

Lunch was at this scenic spot. Not a soul to be seen while I sat and enjoyed my salad.

Hiwassee Bridge

On the first leg to Hiwassee, I passed only 6 others. On the return there were more but not a huge day on the trail for many folks.
