Big surprise, I went out bicycle riding this morning. Imagine that! In the mood to explore, at sunrise this morning I headed for a park that I had never visited or even heard of. The small park is called “Wolf Lake Park” located in the Town of Davie, FL. Safely riding to the park, however, was going to be a challenge, especially leaving when I did at 6:50 a.m. Prior to actually heading to the new park, I rode through Brian Piccolo Park. The 175.2-acre park has established itself as one of Broward County Parks' primary centers for athletic activity. It was after riding through Brian Piccolo Park that the traffic issues began. Not able to safely cross a couple of busy corridors because of the relentless vehicular traffic, I altered my intended route even though the new route would add miles to my ride. When I finally located and entered Wolf Lake Park via one of Davie’s back roads, I was sure glad I chose to ride the mountain bike and not the road bike. All paths in the park consisted of loose sand, gravel and pine needles. It was a fun ride, a refreshing ride, in spite of the annoying traffic. In all, I pedaled the heavier bike 25.25 miles on bike paths, sidewalks, dirt paths and country roads.
