bike trip around a lake







a few weeks ago we finally got some nice weather for a change. it's been getting up to at least 15 degrees C pretty much everyday. these pictures are from about three weeks ago. most saturdays, if it's a decent temp and not raining, i go out riding for a few hours. it's really the best way to see the city. alot of the time i just pick a direction and stumble upon different things. this day though, i wanted to find this lake and as you can see, i did. there are concrete boardwalks around part of it and then it turns into dirt trails. i actually got to get a little muddy! the trails kept going, so i kept riding. i ended up going about half way around the lake. not a very big lake by tennessee standards, but i think it's the biggest one around berlin. i plan on going back and riding around the whole thing just for kicks. i had more good shots, but i think these are the best. the first one is really the last picture i took of the lake (forgot to mention the name, it's the tegeler see) the next one is from the beginning of when i found the lake. not the best picture because i blew it up. some sort of heron i think. then cool bridge architecture, sailors sailing off in the afternoon(also blown up), and then this cool little boat island. i bet that gets pretty rowdy on hot summer weekends. as long as everyone has enough bier and brats.
