Today is MLK day. We went at 10:30 to pick up our eBikes and learn how to drive them. I love them. The power switch is wonderful to add an assist when needed. We took them to Myakka via I-75. Warm day so i changed to a short sleeve shirt and we were off. Fist stop was where the road crosses the river and many gators are on the bank. Very pretty. The park was crowded with visitors since it was a holiday and school was out. Next Libbie led us off trail down an unpaved road with cabins. we easily did a combo of pedalling and motoring. Many more stops along the way for pictures, bird watching and to the front gate. We had lunch at the Outpost, splitting a turkey and swiss sandwich with a bottle of water. Then it was time to head back. We had been out 4 hours. At the visitors center we let another couple ride our bikes - they seemed delighted. We had some troubles going home - the bikes kept getting loose on the rack. We made some adjustments each time we stopped alonside the road. Discovered that Bee Ridge goes to the park without taking I-75. Nice. It was a great day. In the evening we went out to Spanish Point Pub and Marina across from Walmart. Pretty cool dump on the water - it;s on the dock with a Tiki Bar roof. We both had fish and chips with a Yuengling. It fit our mood.
