Cedarglade - take 2

Today started off at 35 degrees and forecast of rain all day; however, it wasn't raining at the moment. We decided to take advantage of the dry weather and hit the local Cedarglade trail again and then spend the rainy weather driving to Missouri.

The Cedarglade trails were a bit more wet from several days of rain, but overall the trails drain well and were still great. The temps were 40+ and no rain, so it ended up being great riding weather. We did the black, blue, and green trails, then the black, blue, brown, green. Decided we should do 30 miles today to make sure we take advantage of our last days of trail riding. While on a break back at the car, we ran into Walt who runs the Parkside Cycle in Hot Springs - which we managed to visit a couple times the days prior. We did another lap with Walt and called it a day.

After several hours of riding, we filled up our water bottles in town at the free hot spring water station, then we looked for food. We ended up going to Fuji sushi...sounded good and healthy. Wasn't too impressed; seemed a bit expensive for what we got. Should have gone with a nice steak. Oh well, we continue on our way towards Potosi, Missouri to check out the Council Bluff Lake trails. We make it an hour or so outside of Memphis and decide to call it a night. Tomorrow we will hit the Council Bluff Lake trails and begin the journey back home. Any chance we can ride trails at home??
