Finally, a few pics of a very nice ride DH & I took, um, way back in September.

A few thoughts:

Nebraska is NOT (gasp) flat. (pant) About 10 miles of the ride were either UP (wheeze) or Down (Whee!)

The older I get the more I believe that summer rides are to be endured so that one can enjoy the fall rides. The colors! the cooler temps! Yeah, fall riding is where it is AT. I remember the ride as being more colorful than the pics show, though. Hmmm.

Teenage daughters - even those who are unexcited about bikes - have their uses. Younger Daughter drove us - and the bikes - to our starting point for the day. All we had to do was ride home.

My bike makes me smile which is, after all, the true test of a bike.
