Well I left the family while they were still in bed and headed out to do a group ride and picnic in Vermont. We drove to Putney and then we split into two groups, one doing an old race loop that was 62 miles and my group did a 25 mile trip that really ended up being 35 miles. The first seven miles was a slow steady uphill climb! ugh! We had a nice down hill run to the town of Saxtons River. They were having a town celebration so we walked through town because there were too many people to ride. Then we headed uphill again. I don't remember all the towns but we went through Bellows Falls and ended up back in Putney. I couldn't believe the hills! The heat and humidity made it tough, we were (dare I say this) actually wishing the sprinkles that landed on us would turn to a rain shower! After the ride we went to one of the group members houses and had a nice potluck picnic. I got home around 5pm and now will spend time with the hubby. Our fireworks are next Saturday!
