Biking the Paint Creek Trail


This past Saturday you may remember as one of Michigan's finer fall days. We took advantage of the beautiful weather with a trip up the Paint Creek Trail. We left in downtown Rochester and got within a few miles of Lake Orion before turning back. If you have never taken this trail, it's worth packing up the bikes and heading over. This is a better surface than the streets - certainly better then the sidewalks - and is cooled by the surrounding greenery.

On the way back, we stopped at the Paint Creek cider mill for cider and doughnuts. The cider mill is located on the trail at Goodison, on Orion Road.

After our ride, we gathered at the park and had a picnic supper. The early evening was exquisite, and we lingered, enjoying a last moment with summer.
