Joe and I got 47 miles in today! We started our ride around 10:00 AM (the outside temperature was 38 degrees!) The first 10 miles were the hardest. I was ready to call it quits. My face was numb and I was freezing. But the sun was out and I swear each minute the temperature must have gone up a degree. But more likely my muscles were producing some massive heat. Finally around the tenth mile I started to feel warm and toasty. The blood was moving! I was sweating! And from there on in I was fine! We rode on back country roads. There was practically zero traffic. And there were magnificient views! I forgot my camera but I did have my cell phone! And so I took a few shots with it. Here are two of the pictures:

We finished our ride around 1:30. On our drive back home we stopped at Starbucks and ordered our usual, a nice hot grande non-fat 2 pump white mocha, 1 pump mocha with whip dirnks! Mmmmmmm they sure hit the spot!
