DH and I headed up to a county north of us (with little traffic) and took a route we were saving for after all the longer rides of the season were over. It was AWESOME!!! It had a lot of steep, curvy climbs (and descents) and some really nice views. We did a total of 36 miles and had a complete blast! The weather was a perfect 85 degrees, the wildlife was out in force (two deer, a wild turkey and a couple of groudhogs) and we took it easy and enjoyed every single minute of it.

This ride not only served to reinforce our love for biking, but it inspired us to shoot for something a little harder next weekend. We have plans to do a 50 mile loop that will include a climb to the top of hanging rock (2 mile climb of 8 - 12%). Can't wait!!

Oh, and I got a second speed sensor so that I can use my cycle computer on my commuter bike. I'm excited to try it out this week!

Man, I love cycling!
