Shopping Ride

April 9, 2016

The truck is in the shop for repairs so the only mode of transportation available to me was my old Rocky Raleigh bike which I have been riding since the 80s. I usually ride 30 to 40 minutes in the morning staying in the area and not on the highway.

Today I road to Sobeys for eggs. The route I used is marked on the above map with red dots. (If you can see them!) After the Highway 7 stretch I turned onto regular streets and then through a neighbourhood community of Okotoks.

The path meandered through a green area between residential homes. 

People were out picking up after their dogs. I only saw one person walk/jogging.

 With all the cattails alone the banks I'll bet the summer is busy with Red Winded Black Birds. I saw one but he wouldn't stay in one place to get a picture. Had to settle for a Robin.

 
It was a good trip. I left at 8:50 am, got to Sobeys at 9:40 am, and returned home in Country Lane Estates by 10:40 am. Last stretch was into a wind - 25 to 35 Km gusts.




   So until next time remember to "Discover It and Live It".
