Dec. 4, 2017. Twenty three FOS showed up for the first ride of the winter season at Gulf State Park. Warm weather and sunny skies greeted us. | |
| |
|
Getting this group to stand still long enough for a group picture is a real challenge! | |
| |
|
After riding into Gulf Shores we stopped for lunch. | |
| |
|
Cajun food was the order of the day! | |
| |
|
Bernie, Donna and Carl seem to be discussing the ride back to the park. | |
| |
|
Perhaps Jim get suggest this place again. Great food, Jim! | |
| |
|
Frank and Kris stop for a picture opportunity at our “picture tree”. | |
| |
|
Nancy and Ardie think this is a good resting spot. | |
| |
|
Ardie says, “just one more picture then I’ll ride!” | |
| |
|
Larry and Phyllis join the fun with picture taking! | |
| |
|
OK! It’s time to move on down the trail. | |
| |
|
Looks like Bob and Sue will catch up with the group after their picture is taken. What a great start to the 2017-2018 winter season! | |
| |
|
After 4 cold and rainy days, these hardy FOS decided to ride in 40 degree temps. Bernie, where are your long pants? | |
| |
|
The group decided to take shelter in the primitive tent along the trail for a group picture. | |
| |
|
Carl and Lefty exchange greetings. | |
| |
|
Lefty says she is enjoying the sunshine. What a great day to be out riding the trails! | |
| |
|
December 12 we gathered for a ride to “The Broken Egg” for lunch. | |
| |
|
Darold, Nancy and Sue thought we needed to bundle up. Did someone say it was cold in Gulf Shores? | |
| |
|
Our fearless leader, Jim, made sure we got directions before starting the ride. | |
| |
|
Lunch? Let’s get going! | |
| |
|
Carl and Les are ready to roll. | |
| |
|
Sherry is warm and toasty as she gets ready for the ride to Orange Beach. | |
| |
|
Sunny skies helped warm us up as we began to explore Orange Beach. | |
| |
|
Seems we have worked up an appetite so it’s time for a picnic lunch. | |
| |
|
No doubt we have enough snacks to share. It’s been a great week! | |
| |
|
The FOS group always knows how to have fun. We had standing room only at the brew pub! | |
| |
|
Larry and Phyllis are trying to catch some pictures but people won’t stand still. | |
| |
|
JoAnn, Karen, Jim and Warren found a table for four. | |
| |
|
Jim and Karen get ready for a ride to Orange Beach on December 16. | |
| |
|
Phyllis is deciding which way to go on the BackCountry Trails. | |
| |
|
December 14 included a ride across the new bridges in the park. GSSP has built an amazing biking/walking system throughout the park. | |
| |
|
Our annual trek into Gulf Shores for ice cream brought a little extra Christmas cheer. | |
| |
|
Some of the FOS got a little “sugar high” from the ice cream. | |
| |
|
December 15 the Big Beach Brewery provided us an evening of fun and lots of good conversation. Kathy and Roger are deciding which snacks taste best. | |
| |
|
Parker and Edyth found the popcorn to be rather tasty. |
