This was a treat. There is nothing quite like riding with your family. We had a ton of fun not to mention a nice easy going 5 mile ride. Stacey and I took a trip here early in December and she decided she liked it. So in the evening on December 28th we packed up our bikes and took our oldest up to Gainesville for a nice leisurely ride. This trail which starts at Boulware Springs park in Gainsville takes you 16 miles West to Hawthorne Florida. There are several lookout points and scenic areas to to take pictures or picnic. There are a few sharp turns and changes in elevation at the start of the trail but then it evens out to a long straight gentle ride.
On our way.

It started getting dark so we headed back. I was glad we could get a ride in during my daughter's stay (which are always too short.) Next time she's home we will do a longer ride and stop for a picnic.
