Last weekend Chris and I hit the road for our longest ride in awhile. It has gotten crazy since summertime hit us, and now that both our bikes have been back from the shop and all tuned, aligned, and working we needed to go for a ride. We went unloaded which was a change from our days on the tour, we always love that. Next time we would like to have a SAG wagon, and already have a couple willing people :). I will put the statistics for the ride at the bottom of the blog, and if that doesn't work I will post a link for our ride!
It was a beautiful, awesome, wonderfully perfect ride!! The weather could not have been better, it was overcast and nice and cool outside. It had rained the day before, and looked like it would rain that day too, but we didn't get any rain on our ride. We finished in under 3 hours, as well as stopped at a corner store for some curly fries about a mile or 2 from the house! Both Chris and I as well as the kids were hungry! Unfortunately for you guys I did not bring my camera to capture our ride, I went hands free, bringing nothing but my water bottles! There were some amazing view I will have to capture another day.
Here is the link to our route, along with elevation and hill data!
The site is Ridewithgps, we used this quite a number of times on our cross-country trip. The site would give us a heads up on what could be expected for the different routes and roads we would be planning to take. Some days however, we just liked to wing it, and manage the hills as they came.
I am going to be blogging on here a bit more again, as I get the time to. There are pictures I want to share as well. I hope everyone is having a good summer so far!
OH - and if you run your mouse over the hills on the bottom of the map you can see the elevation, and grade percentage of the road we took!
