Emerald to Hunter River ride

 Even though the it was a misty / drizzle type morning there was 22 cyclists taking part in the ride, this photo is of the turning point in Hunter River at the Dr. Kent Ellis park.

The Boxcar in Emerald was the staring & finish point for the ride, We had chicken soup and rolls & cookies waiting for us after the ride. It was dryer on the return trip but the temperature was a cool 10.
I logged 36 km on the bike for the trip.

Rain day

 Rain all day, today's cycling event postponed til tomorrow. Garden is flooded with water.

 My rain gauge shows 40 mm for the day so far, seems like the rain is almost stopped.

A fair sized pond in the ball field, one crow checking it out while another one on the wires watches.
The temperature stayed around 11.

New going up, old coming down

This new house in Sunrise Cove has part of the roof installed.

To me it looks like that one of the rooms will have a cathedral ceiling

This old barn is not completely down but is getting close. I was in Charlottetown this morning and I visited a brother-inlaw. After lunch some yard work the cycled around town for 10 km.
We had a high of 18 wind some wind.

New trail

 This morning I cycled from Vernon River to Lake Verde, about 6 km of new trail, some of it on old railbed but other parts are new.
This pond is a couple km from Rte 3. I cycled to Uigg and back as well but that part of the trail still needs the fine gravel put on.  This evening I cycled with the Hampshire group to Milton and back. I logged over 50 km for the day. Mostly sunny with a high of 18.

Beck trail

 This morning I hiked the Beck trail with the Cornwall group.

We saw Lady Slipper flowers in three places which was a treat. A good turnout, there was 19 in the group.
We walked the red loop, about 4.5 km.  This evening I cycled to the mall, then took the trail to York and cycled to Winsloe and then home by the road.  The temperature was down to 13 by the time I got home and windy, gusts to 40 km/h.

New house

The start of a new house in Sunrise Cove, no basement.

The plumbing has been installed in the cement slab foundation.

The walls are up and it is starting to take shape.
I cycled to the neighbors this morning and did some yard work after lunch. It was raining this evening so the Sherwood cycling was cancelled again. The high temperature for the day was 19
