Come Ride with Me...

Stephen and I've spent the last week with his family on St Simon's Island off the coast of Georgia. A few days ago we rented bicycles and spent the entire afternoon exploring the island together. It's been forever since I've ridden a bicycle and recently a few of my physical therapy school friends have taken up biking and I can see why, it's so much fun! More than once it felt like the wind from the ocean was against us and we had to peddle hard! Our quads were burning! I took some pics along the way.

Early in the morning we walked just up the street to Ocean Motion where we picked out our bikes, got a basket and our locks and headed off!

Our first stop was to East Beach where we took this pic of us on the wooden walkway to the beach.

We then stopped at the Maritime Center and had a look around.

We continued riding toward town and came across this beautiful park full of live oaks and spanish moss. There were also tons of historic markers throughout the island and we made sure to read them whenever we came across them.

We decided to take a short break right at the marsh. The background in the pic above is the marsh.

We came across this secluded, wooded beach access area on our way back to the condo for a break. The view was too gorgeous to pass up.

Overall we had a great time finding a new way (at least for me) to explore everything the island had to offer with the freedom warranted by the bicycles. It was a great day!
