Today's ride was great b/c it was the longest ride I've done completely alone (67 miles). I was riding past cotton fields, old plantations, crumbling barns, horse and dairy farms...rural South at its best. My most exhilerating ride this year, however was with my husband on the Pacific Coast Highway from Cannon Beach, OR to Manzanita, OR. The scenery was just gorgeous and the hills were really challenging. Beating him on the way back against major headwinds just made it that much sweeter.
