ST. TAMMANY TRACE

Time for a bike ride on the St. Tammany Trace.  Here we go...

First, we had to head across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway towards Mandeville...

Husband and bikes in tow!

Also had to make a quick stop at the Bike Path before starting our ride.  The Raleigh needed a hub adjustment (?).  The staff were friendly and fast.  Thank you Bike Path!

We arrived at the Mandeville Trailhead and started to unpack the bikes.

Look at J...  so nice having my very own bike mechanic!

Halfway through the ride we stopped at the Lacombe Trailhead to admire the view and take some pics.

Beautiful Louisiana!

After biking 19 miles (yes, yours truly biked 19 miles!) we went to Barley Oak on the Mandeville lakefront and enjoyed some drinks, pretzels, and Cajun sausage.

We also stopped at Saia's Meat Market and bought some steaks to grill for dinner.  Then walked next door and bought some sweet treats from Krummel's Bake Shop.  It was finally time to head home.

The aforementioned sweet treats...

Thanks for such a fantastic Friday babe!  Loved spending the entire day with you on the Northshore!  Let's do it again soon :)  Maybe I'll be up for 25 miles next time?
