To Lucky Peak and Back

Last week, my sister and I rode our bikes along the Greenbelt to Lucky Peak Reservoir and back.  That's a 36 mile round trip.  We've been planning/dreaming about this since last summer.  It wasn't as ridiculous as I thought it would be.

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in the parking lot before we started.

The side of Lucky Peak Dam says, "Keep your forests green."  The reservoir is on the other side.  This is where the Greenbelt pretty much ends.

The Greenbelt pretty much ends at Sandy Point, which is a whale-shaped swimming area at the base of the dam.  There is a fountain that serves as the whale's eye.

This is Vicki's "angry face" about having to get back on her very uncomfortable bike seat for the ride back.

The giraffes were out at the zoo on the ride back. :-)
