With the extension open now I decided today I would ride the Spring Creek Greenway. The warm weather cooperated and I set out at 11:00 am. I wasn’t sure how far the route would be with the extra miles but I rode 47.98 miles<\/strong>. This increases October to 791.59 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I dressed lighter today with shorts and short sleeve jersey and was comfortable from beginning to end. Weather during the bike ride: start 79 (69% humidity), a few clouds, wind S 7 mph. Finish 83 (59% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind S 15 mph, gusts 28 mph. The wind picked up while I rode the greenway and I could feel it whenever I got out in the open. fortunately the last 7 miles a tailwind helped me get to the finish at 3:16 pm.<\/p>\n

Nothing different on the greenway until the place where the barrier used to be. According to the sign at the left turn to Dennis Johnston Park the trail went 3.1 miles before ending. The new section scenery contrasted with the other part of the trail with fewer trees and more prairie type foliage. Up to beginning on the new section I didn’t stop but once I crossed the old barrier location I stopped and took these photos. The first two look forward from the barrier location and back. These photos progress to the end of the trail. (Click on an image to enlarge it)<\/p>\n\n\t\t
