Yes, we finally did take the risk, regardless the weather forecast for rain.
Trusting that indeed those thunderstorms would happen in the afternoon.
We had to drive by car some 2.5 hours before starting our bike ride at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain.

Just click this short 43 seconds video below to see our actual bike route of 1 hour and 26 minutes for the 17.3 km or 10.7 miles.
We figured that in the mornings the weather would be good to bike and it was!
There are a total of 14 lakes at Callaway Gardens and we biked along 10 of them on this trip!
It was a wonderful day and it felt great for having completed this ride of 17.33 km or 10.8 miles.
The hills we biked were rolling with an altitude from about 240 m till 280 m.
From here we went to the Hyatt Place in Columbus-North where we stayed 2 nights.
Thanks for your visit and comment!

How a great and long bike ride! Have a nice day Mariette;-)
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteYes it was a great and not too long bike ride through nature.
Hugs,
Mariette
wow! So beautiful sunny day.. perfect for hiking..
ReplyDeleteDearest Krishna,
DeleteThe weather was really perfect for biking!
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette, With those vistas the park is perfect for a bicycle ride, but your photos of the lake makes me instead want to take a hike around its perimeter.
ReplyDelete--Jim
Dearest Jim,
DeleteOh, that too would be a perfect idea if your knees are allowed to hike. Pieter got advised by his orthopedic surgeon; not to. Biking is good for his knee as it removes the fluid and you don't put pressure on it. So we bike...
It is a brilliant set up by those original founders!
Hugs,
Mariette
Wow, the views are incredible! It must have felt so pleasant to ride the bike through the nature. I visited Callaway Gardens long, long time ago. Seems like the beautiful nature hasn't changed :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day, Mariette! xo
Dearest Tamago,
DeleteYes it felt very pleasant out there and the views are breathtaking.
Trees will have grown but it remains well kept and very nice.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello dear Mariette!
ReplyDeleteWow! Such a long bike ride!
Wonderful views and nature!
I’m sure you both enjoyed the bike trail in the hills!
Thank you for sharing!Have a happy day! Hugs!
Dimi...
Dearest Dimi,
DeleteNo this was not a long ride, the one I will post tonight is almost double in length...
The Pine Mountain hills are breathtaking indeed.
Hugs,
Mariette
I agree that is a long bike ride..but so very pretty. I too like those tall trees.
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
DeleteNo this was not a long ride, only 1 hour and 26 minutes! And only 17.3 km or 10.8 miles...
Our next one will be longer.
Guess those are the pines from the Pine Mountain region but they were pretty.
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful country for your bike ride, and what great shape you are in as well! Oh, how I wish I could go!!
ReplyDeleteDearest Debra,
DeleteYou already live in a bike-friendly 'flat' area! Wish we had that. Indeed Callaway Gardens is far away for you...
As for my shape, since my 15th till now I've been the very same size with only a few pounds fluctuations .
Hugs,
Mariette
A very long ride through beautiful scenery.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Mariette.
Dearest Sami,
DeleteNo this was not long... We've done double the distance and I certainly could do more than that but I go with my mate and this is what he can handle! We thoroughly enjoyed biking here.
Hugs,
Mariette
It's no wonder you look so great if you go biking for so long and yet again my dearest friend !
ReplyDeleteGreat scenery why you do and great weather to go along.
Enjoy your weekend, which I'm sure you will.
Fabby
Dearest Fabby,
DeleteThis was merely 1.5 hour of biking and not long at all.
As long as we enjoy it and Pieter can do this, we keep on biking for his and my condition.
It is far healthier to be in fresh air outdoors for added vitamin D, than being on a stationary bike indoors!
We both love nature.
Hugs,
Mariette
