Lily Lake, Rockwood Park
Drove to Saint John, NB landing in Rockwood Park, “heart of nature in the heart of Saint John”… one of Canada’s largest municipal parks which happens to be minutes away from downtown. What a beautiful park with numerous hiking, mountain and road biking trails as well as swimming, golf, aqua golf, horseback riding, and a zoo. We were able to get a short evening ride in the north end of the city returning as the temps were quickly dropping for a rather cool 4 degree night…mucho snuggleosJ Awoke to a clear, crisp fall morning which was ripe for riding out of the park heading northeast to communities of Rothesay, Quispamsis and McKeen Cove park. I wore my first, new jersey today which has Tom thinking this is the first step for Glenda to become a true roadie…whatever! It was an interval training day…up, up, up, down, down, down hills mixed with many rollers along shore side of Kennebacasis River and a quick return through the park as the black clouds were quickly rolling in…combined 84 km ride before we headed into city to catch high tide, head on collision, reversing falls phenomena of Saint John River and the Bay of Funday in the rain. Any day on the bike is still a great day!

    Super duper pics ol' hard asses. We are assuming from your current location that your are now starting to head west again. Just another gorgeous day in Sunny Saltair today but Fall rains in the forecast for later in the week. Hope you're going to write a cyclist tour book when you get back. Just fantastic blogging so far. Keep it up.
