President Barack Obama is following up a morning bike ride on Martha’s Vineyard with an afternoon round of golf.

Under brilliant New England skies Friday, the president headed back to the Vineyard Golf Club. The outing marked his fifth round off golf during his 10-day vacation.

Earlier Friday, the president and first family went biking in the Manuel F. Correllus State Forest in the middle of this island off Cape Cod. He, first lady Michelle Obama and the couple’s daughters rode six miles on a biking trail.

The Obamas return to Washington Sunday, after the president and his wife first make a stop in New Orleans to mark the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
