Warmer Weather Means More Greenway Visits

Sections: Meta, Scenes of Roanoke — Written By: Steve

As I’ve mentioned before I go bicycling at least 2 times a week. This is mostly because I’m too busy to have a gym membership and I’d rather be outside anyways. During the colder months I just ride around the neighborhood, but when it gets warmer I often head down to one of Roanoke’s greenways.

This past Sunday, the first Sunday of Spring, turned out to be a very beautiful day. Not too cool and not too hot. If there ever was a difference between a “Mostly Sunny” and “Partly Cloudy” weather forecast this was it. This day had to qualify as “Mostly Sunny”. Maybe even just regular “Sunny”.

Well, I didn’t have time to actually venture down to the Roanoke River Greenway. But, I did ride down from my house to the Wasena Bridge and wasn’t surprised to see that a few other citizens too had the idea of visiting the greenway and nearby park.

Here are some photos from my bicycle ride this past Sunday:

Grape hyacinth manages to grow among some left over Fall leaves. This was taken along the roadside in the Virginia Heights area.


Also, as a side note, I’m not going anywhere. This site has recently been renewed for another year of hosting. I’m just going through some busy times and will still be updating as regularly as possible. Thanks as always for visiting.

  2. Thanks man. With it getting warmer I plan to get out and do some more exploring around Roanoke. I have a long list of ideas for posts for this spring and summer, and hopefully I’ll get to at least half of them!
