The weather has been warm but overcast and rain for the most part but this morning broke clear if a bit cold for late March. Wind was gusting up to 20mph but with the beautiful blue sky a ride was in order. I decided to make a northern loop on back roads to Blackshear and from there ride the "Snake" Road, so named for it's many curves (rare around here), and back to the house, roughly 60 miles.

A few views along the Walkerville Road. The remains of an old fireplace where, no doubt, a farmhouse once stood.

Wisteria vines cover old fences and home sites. They're in full bloom and their aroma fills the senses as you pass.

Heading south toward Blackshear I stop on a hilltop to take in the greenery.

A quick stop at ACE to buy some paint and a view of the old Pierce County courthouse.

Also practice riding on the left in case I make a trip to Oz.

Stopped at the church on the county line near home. Moss draped Turkey Oaks and Dogwood blooms adorn thhe churchyard.

I cross Big Creek and head home. What a relaxing ride.

Beautiful photos! We're battling more record heat in San Diego. I wouldn't mind having a few cool spring days.

'Birds, great photos. I am really hanging out for the May ride.

Cheers

Thanks fellows.

Pamela and I are excited about the May ride in the mountains also Ptero. If spring comes early that area will be like riding through a flower garden. The best part will be meeting many of the fine folks on this forum and sharing fellowship, good rides and great food.

Going down to Wilmington NC in 10 days for a week, looking forward to the azalea festival, warm weather, golf and a Harley rental for the day. Your just south of Augusta and the Masters, must be ready to peak down there.

I'm about 160 miles south of Augusta. It will peak soon. My Azaleas are about to bloom, the veggies are up in the garden, the Blue Bird houses are occupied. The Pecan trees are still bare but they're the last to leaf out.

Great photos as always, Redbirds.

Roll on May.
