Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Charlie stopped by on his way around the lake with Maple this morning.  After they left we put the bikes on the back of the truck and headed up the road a bit to Sugarloaf Drive.  There is a bike path all down Sugarloaf Drive and at the end we take the old county road which is barricaded off to car traffic and biked down to the lake.  A beautiful day for a bike ride.  Walked out to the Atlantic and then started down the old, unmaintained part of this county road which goes to the other side of the burned out bridge.  Went quite a ways and then turned around and biked back to our truck.  We had the wind in our face going out which makes it harder biking, but the wind was at our back on our return trip—for the most part anyway. Took another shower and then relaxed. Going to the KOA tonight to see Howie.  Just him and his acoustic guitar tonight.  Should be fun. 85 today!  YES

This canal goes from the residential area on Sugarloaf (bayside) out to the Atlantic.  This is where it empties into the Atlantic.

The canal from the other side of the bridge.  People dive off the bridge and picnic on the flat rock.  A couple of guys were walking up the flat rock on the right when we biked back.  They were all wet.  I asked them how the water was.  Cold! they said.  One of them did a back flip off the bridge just before we left.

Taking a break on the bridge.

What a great place to bike!  We have a two-lane road all to ourselves.

Bay side.  We also pass lagoons and lakes along this beautiful biking experience.

Walked half way around the lake and took a path out to the Atlantic.  All this great flat rock to walk around on.

A little resting spot on a little beach--a little lagoon on the bay side.

The Atlantic.

Hard to believe this is still the old county road.  Plants have taken over this portion.   Somebody maintains the main part of the old road.  Not sure who.  Volunteers probably.
