Mountain Bike Monday - Biking and History All in One

So, we started out our Sunday ride yesterday at the Petersburg National Battlefield. We decided to mix in some off and on - road riding to vary up the scenery, etc.

Battlefield Ride 9.14.14

It was a GREAT day for a ride. Even a little chilly at the start! Definitely getting to be fall weather!

Many others were enjoying the trails and the day as well! Lots of 4-legged creatures! The owner of this horse asked if the horse could smell Dynamo's bike! Of course!

We thought that was a pretty good idea! Instead of making a big deal over the bikes, let the horse go up to the person and the bike to check things out!

The yellow wild flowers/weeds were in full bloom!

We just love the section over by the creek! It's so green and pretty!

And, all of the new fancy bridges are super awesome!

But, the best part of the ride was running into our friend working at the park. Yesterday, he was in full attire and we stopped to for a history lesson!

We had to get a group picture together!
