The weather was pretty nice for this 1 3/4 hour ride that brought together some old friends and a new friend. Sue brought Quia and also Sadie for Jan. Much to our surprise old friends were already there…Connie with Camsoix and her sister, Debbie , with Truffles. Then a trailer we had not seen before arrived and it was Rick with Quirt. Rick lives in Georgia and it was his first ride with STA. To round out the group, Wendy came in with Arrow and Joyce arrived with Blue. We started out on the trail next to Miller Landing Road and took the first trail to get over to the power line. We then took the single track trail along the soccer fields. The ride leader switched often during the ride but the pace was slow enough for everyone to be able to talk with each other. There is a new recreation manager for the City of Tallahassee and he has done a great job of getting the trails cleaned up and ready for enjoyment. We stuck to the perimeter and enjoyed riding next to Lake Victoria and the bat house that never seems to have any occupants. Rick was interested in the permanent jumps that are used for the Red Hills Horse Trials as he had never seen them before. We rode near Lake Jackson and then took the single track horse trail up near the pines along Miller Landing Road before heading back to the trailhead.
