“On the bike I savour everything to the full. I live every moment. I discover places that otherwise I could not see. When I get on my bike I feel no boundary or limit. I am a conqueror, and every time is a little great quest, body and mind.”
—Paola Gianotti
At a mild 84 degrees, it was a great day for a ride. After Cycling to the Los Gatos Creek Trail with a pit stop at Jamba Juice, Bill and I continued our ride to Lexington Reservoir County Park, a scenic 950 acre park and reservoir which includes a 338 acre man-made reservoir available for shoreline fishing. The reservoir is also open to hand launch vessels only, including canoes, yaks, float tubes and standup paddleboarding (SUPs). Below the Lexington Reservoir exists a ghost town called Lexington which was once 550 feet above sea level. Due to draught conditions the water level is low. That said, it is still a sight to see while riding around the top perimeter looking down. The photos were taken on Tuesday and a previous ride we did last month. The ride around Lexington Reservoir itself is 7.8 miles, though Bill and I rode a total of 19 miles roundtrip from where we live.
