Silver and I joined riding buddy Dan for a 57 mile jaunt to Rockport Indiana and back. The weather was nearly perfect and we averaged 17.3mph despite a return head wind.

Dan just turned 60 a few months ago and is recovering from hip resurfacing...said it was his strongest ride this year

Next week, we're shooting for a 50 mile - mountainous - ride in the Garden of the Gods @ Shawnee National Forest.
