Jekyll on a Bike

The weather this past Saturday was overcast and not nearly as hot as usual.  We decided that this would be a great day to go bicycling on Jekyll Island.  Jekyll has a really good system of bike paths. Every time that I have been on the island in the past, I have thought to myself that I would like to come one day and bike around the island. We arrived around lunch, grabbed a quick bite to eat at DQ, and then proceeded to a bike rental place.  There are about 25 miles of trails, so looking at the map was a bit overwhelming.  We decided to bike down the beach side of the island to Driftwood Beach and then go back up the marsh side of the island to the Historic District.  Brian and the kids were also hunting Pokemon as we went, so we had to stop a couple to time to catch the Pokemon.  We made it to Driftwood Beach and took a break so that the kids could climb on the fallen trees.  We then began up the trails on the marsh side.  We all thought that the trails on this side of the island were better.  We didn't make it all the way to the Historic District, though, because a storm cloud was rolling in and we didn't want to be stuck out in the rain.  We ended up taking a road that cut across the island and made it back to the bike rental place before the bad part of the storm hit.  It was getting a bit dicey at the end- we just did beat the storm.  All in all, we were out for about two-and-a-half hours and we would have kept going were it not for the weather.  We all had a great time and I'm sure that a return trip will be in our future.
