Spring Training Day 9 - Hendersonville Apples

Today all the trees seemed to pop into bloom. Just at the beginning of their blooming, but enough to have a blush of colour. 

We found a loop called Apple Pancake on the Lamb. I have to admit I was hoping for some pancakes, but I think that was just a fun name for a loop up Lamb Mountain, and a lot of apple orchards. 

Cute little town names like Dana and Edneyville, and funny road names "Moot Point Lane" and "Good Lookin' Lane". 🥰

AccuWeather told us it would be a high of 12 and mostly cloud cover...

And yet it was pure blue sky and quite a bit warmer, with some serious wind gusts (sometimes I wonder what the "accu" actually stands for?).

We see many churches on our rides, and many cemeteries too, but today we saw a special cemetery... For farm vehicles 

We do find it disconcerting to see so much trash as we ride. Particularly the fact that so much of the thrown garbage is beer containers 😳   There is an opportunity for the government to cover their shortfall / deficit if they indeed put this fine into action (fine = $1,000). 

The ride started and ended in Jackson Park, Hendersonville. The park is a very well kept park of paths and trails, baseball diamonds and clean bathrooms. In honour of our nephew Jackson who is currently leading our March Madness Pool. 

The end of the ride was celebrated at a local Taco Truck - Tacos Chinelo. (Sorry Gus!)
