Bikes and Sights: Getting Away From It All On The K&P Trail

“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous,

when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin

down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.”

- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Author of Sherlock Holmes -

There were a few places we biked through more than once this past summer and one of them was The K&P Trail; an off-road recreational trail that I've written about before. It’s the perfect place to cycle, walk or jog through when you’re in the mood for a peaceful setting.

Surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of nature, you disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and ultimately begin to slow down and relax.

On this trail, you hardly ever run across another person, and for an introvert like me, that's exactly what's needed at times; to detach from humanity and recharge the internal battery.

As you bike along, you encounter some four-legged friends...

...pretty flowers...

...and even opportunities to be creative if that's what you enjoy.

And if you happen to visit on a hot summer day, there are plenty of shaded areas to stop in and cool off, which you will be grateful for.

Sometimes you just need to get away from it all, and the K&P Trail is the perfect location to do just that.

Have a lovely Wednesday, everyone.
