A beautiful morning with moderate temperatures called Chris and I out for a nice 16-plus mile ride yesterday. I was happy that the bike shop repaired the broken spokes on my rear wheel in record time and my bike was ready for action.

We followed what has become our base route and as we crossed the North Fork Loxahatchee River Bridge, Tequesta, I saw the clouds reflected in the water and it looked like a French impressionist painting. We usually stop on the bridge in one of the sitting areas to get a drink of water and admire the view. It was especially beautiful yesterday and I and expecting to be in that very location today as it is a boat day and the weather seems perfect.

We were rewarded during our ride by sighting two gopher tortoises. They are more elusive than one might think and we enjoy watching them munch the grasses along the roadways. 

I have to say again, tis time of year is the best in South Florida. The temperatures are moderate and the water remains warm from the summer.
