I’ve been managing my time quite well lately and last Sunday, I wanted to get out and ride my regular bike for the first time in a good month or 2. What prompted me to get out was 2 conversations that I had recently. One was with another pedicab driver who wanted to know about off-road places to bike in the city. Another was a bike shop owner who asked if I was gonna get out and enjoy the weather last weekend. The weather just happened to be perfect but it was too late in the day for me to go hiking along Shingle Creek Trail behind the Rosen hotel of the same name. I found an article on orlandosentinel.com about a new part of the trail that opened up near the Mall at Millenia.

I took a walk along Shingle Creek back on 11/29/2011 for exercise after I got off work. It was kinda cold outside. I got mailed some pretty good Burger King coupons and used one of them beforehand: 2 whoppers, 2 fries for 5 bucks. Seems like a meal for 2, don’t it? Well, with my appetite, it was a meal for one. Some online maps are totally out of date. I parked at the end of a building’s lot in Southpark Center Loop and walked around one of the retention ponds. Then I walked along the creek but came to an endpoint. Across the water, I saw what looked like a sign as if people were allowed to walk there. It was then that I wanted to find out what it was. But that was for another day. I walked along the creek up to the new Destination Parkway

Success! After two failed attempts at riding on the trail (1st and 2nd, all pics are in the 1st), I did it right this time. Yesterday, I contemplated whether to hit the gym after work and do 10 miles on level 11 (out of 20) on a stationary bike or go outside and get some open air. It wasn’t too hot out so I went with the open air option. I got all my gear in order, made sure my car and bike tires were properly inflated (hadn’t checked in a while), and went straight to Hunter’s Creek Middle School which was a lot closer than I thought it was. It was closed and teachers were leaving but some of the athletic fields were still open and occupied for after school shit. I parked closest to the street in the front. When I got on my bike and found the
