Finally Spring has Arrived!

Today finally after several set backs, broken sprocket on my bike,  new chain that didn't fit,  and a cold and flu bug that held on for two weeks! I got out on the flint hills natural trail with the bike!  It was a beautiful day! Temperatures finally into the 80's, it was almost hot! As you can see in the pictures the trees are not even fully leaved out and its the 4th of May!  Spring has been late in coming!  I rode out west from Osage City to Valencia road and back.   Spring is the best time to explore these trails as the weeds have not grown up yet and the grasshoppers and spider webs are not yet out in force.  So your able to just enjoy the open air and just keep pedaling!

Fancy New sign by the entrance the trail of K-31 on outskirts of Osage City

Very pretty area with old railroad bridge between K-31 and Hoch Road
