Just a Sunday Ride

Bike ride on the Henry Hudson Trail, first stop was Off The Hook Restaurant & Bar for a quick Yuengling. On the way back home stopped at Water Witch for a coffee. Great local jam, lots of blues and a great rendition of the Stones Dead FLowers.

Beautiful water feature at Magnolia Park. I went to a bluegrass festival there last weekend and the views were nice, but the music wasn't to my taste. Not your typical Bluegrass, more like toothless swamp folk singing colloquial lyrics about life.
