Thanks Starfish! I was glad I brought my camera that day. There were a lot of other shots I wish I had taken but Joe and Jackie did not want to stop! They were into the ride!

The ride was a great one but there was one scary moment. The CRAZY SQUIRREL!!!! Jackie and I were coming down a very steep hill when a squirrel comes running out onto the road in front of us. It stops then does this twitchy back and forth dance, as if it couldn't decided which way to go! Finally, it made a decision and went left off the road! Jackie and I were both hollering at it as we were coming down. When we stopped at the rest stop we looked at each other and said, "Killer squirrels are on the road!" It was both funny and scary. Scary at the moment it was happening but looking back it was funny. I don't even want to think about what might have happened if one of us hit it going 37 mph down hill!

Oh, and not three miles into the ride my daughter caught a bee in her helmet that stung her. Her head hurt for a while but got better as we cycled on. She was a real trooper and refused to go back. And lucky for her she's not allergic to bees either. Usually I am the one who gets stung (my hubby says it's the lotions I wear) but not this day. But perhaps it was aiming for me and my daughter did a block for her mom?!
