My turn to make a shape. We had a lovely ride beside the sea in Conception Bay South. I found a few lumps to roll over and @wissmarian snapped this beauty. It looks like I’m riding in the mountains but it was sea level.This marvellous track took us from St. Mary's to Gaskiers and back. As we returned the weather threatened with the steely blue sky but ultimately gave us a pass. Isn't that sky the most amazing colour? We returned to the trailhead with only some wet feet from jumping over a few boggy bits. We kept our eyes peeled for whales and the view from the Gaskiers' Light new disappoints. Lots to do and enjoy in around St. Mary's Bay.Starting to contemplate where to head for this weekend's adventure and which method of locomotion to use...will it be hike? bike? hike a bike? canoe? sea kayak? So many choices to choose from to get outside, get active, and have a fine time exploring our province. Any suggestions or recommendations for a place not to be missed this summer?Being outside, exploring, and answering the question, “Will it go?” brings such joy to Marian and I. Bog. Clouds. Cows. All in a day’s ride.I asked Marian to make a shape…you know the drill! This was was a keeper! We were hiking from Gaskiers to St. Mary’s.A whale of a boat! The ribs reminded me of the chin and lower jaw of a humpback. The red caught my eye as well. It was located at the Holyrood pond Interpretation Centre in St. Vincent’s.TA’s Facebook Page
