As typical on Saturdays, we headed over to Pinellas County to ride the Pinellas Trail. We headed out about an hour earlier this week, and we were rewarded with it being a little bit cooler than normal. We rode almost 14.6mi today, from Dunedin to Clearwater Beach and back. The most challenging portion of this ride was the uphill sections of the Clearwater Memorial Bridge. On the way from Clearwater beach back to the mainland, it is an absolute climb from sea level to 75 feet on a mountain bike. To climb I ended up on the 3rd cog up front, and on the 5th gear on the back, while literally stair stepping up the entire way.

On the way back, we stopped for lunch at our usual spot, the Cafe Alfresco in Dunedin. If you ever get the chance to stop there, I highly recommend it!
