Afternoon ride

[RZ94]

I live in Palm Harbor , FL very close to the Pinellas Trail, a former train track corridor for the most part. Today I decided to explore the newer north end of the trail....

Looking west over the bayou in Tarpon Springs

Looking east over the same bayou

Looking south, US 19 northbound is the overpass on the right

Looking southwest, this is one of the "rails to trails" sections....the wooded area on the left backs up to a water treatment plant.

Sorry for the quality and lack of quantity of pics.....phone memory was full. It was a perfect weather day for riding.

We rode the trail down and back a few years ago. A lot different than most rails-to-trails we've ridden as it was populated the whole way. We stayed in Tarpon Springs and ate Greek food for every meal.
Lucky you to live in such a nice area.

It is a nice area to live in. I can ride virtually 12 months a year, and I really can't take the cold weather or snow anymore.

It's very likely this part of the trail didn't even exist when you were here last. It's pretty cool because they keep adding to it, wether it be length or east/west feeders. I can say I have ridden it to both ends as well.

What a great way to get around down there via that trail. I suppose a lot of people use it to commute etc...

We rode from Tarpon Springs to here

where ever that is. Got a little confused where we were at.

That appears to be the "old" end of the southbound part of the trail.......it extends down into southeast St Pete now. Way south!

I documented we rode a total of 67 miles (out and back) so wherever half of that would be. Sounds like we'll need to go back and ride the rest some day.
