Oct 23 American Tobacco Trail

This couple races to the bathroom

It's a gorgeous day for a bicycle ride. My routine ride is from New Hill trailhead to I-40 bidge and back. Today, New Hill parking area is being regraded. There is a small parking area before the gate and I manage to squeeze into a spot. By the time I return, the regular parking area has been fully graded and is half full of cars.

It's a water stop too

Since my last ride, a new facility had sprouted right on the Wake/Chatham County line. It looks like an exquisite porta potty complete with all the outside amenities as well as a couple tall steel figures, seemingly racing to the bathroom. The new facility sports a huge parking area. We can expect even greater crowds on the greenway. Nearby signs warn of a running race tomorrow. 

Fall colors at Beaver Creek

My 29 mile route ends nearby this scene along Beaver Creek. There are almost always Sliders sunning themselves and a Kingfisher or other birds drawn to the water.
