Temperature at departure = 55° F (13° C)
What a beautiful morning. Sunny skies, no gusty winds and the temperature was cool but not cold. I had ridden 4.8 miles (7.7 k) and had seen no one on the trail. NO ONE; not one cyclist and, even odder, no pedestrians. I was reflecting on how strange that was when I noticed ahead that a young mother with a toddler on a bike with training wheels and a puppy on a leash had stopped to talk to another young mother headed the other way with a baby in a stroller and approaching them from behind was an elderly couple we all met up at the same point at the exact same moment. We had a brief chuckle, said good morning and the elderly couple and I moved on. After that the flood gates were opened for pedestrians as I met ~5 others before making it to the office.

Hey Warren--
I've got a buddy who's interested in riding to work; he's wondering if the Indian Creek Trail is open again. I come from the other direction and am not familiar with the trail. I know you're on it part of your way.
He thought it was closed near the Brookridge golf course. Any idea if it's open again?
Thanks!

Jeff, yep, they opened up the tunnel under Antioch back in January and there is a "detour" on the sidewalk along Antioch, over 435, that hooks up both sides of the trail. I ride it every morning and afternoon. He can expect a couple yards of gravel on either side of the bridge, but it is pretty smoothed out by now.
I think he'll enjoy the ride.
Thanks! I've passed the info along. He was happy to hear it.
