Early spring bike ride...Lehigh Gorge State Park

I took advantage of a rare day off and warm weather to get a pre 5 Boro Bike Tour ride in...

The Lehigh Gorge State Park Trail is one of my favorite rail trails .. its well maintained and the views are always scenic...
Today the weather was nearly perfect... a bit of a wind cooled the trail in shady areas... but it was still a comfortable ride...
I started in Jim Thorpe PA and followed the trail 15 miles to the next access point ... after a bit of a rest I turned around and headed back to the car...
There were few fellow travelers on the trail at the begining ... but as things got a little warmer a few riders and families could be spotted...
I put on 31 miles today and I feel it was a good warm up / training run for Bike New York's Five Boro Bike Tour in early May...
