Biking the Raccoon River Valley Trail

Colleen had company this week and stayed home this morning to see them off so I decided to ride the trail. I have not done it all summer! Oh, it was wonderful. The trail was quiet. No people. Just animals and birds. And calm and quiet. There is something about being in the country alone with nature that is hard to describe. Some of you know what I mean. There is such a peacefulness that is hard to capture in any other way. I rode 4 miles out and 4 back stopping to take some pictures along the way.. It was a special treat.
