The First Long Bike Ride of the Year: Lots of Pictures!

Today hubby and I decided to brave it and head out for a bike ride There was rain in the forecast—but hubby looked at the weather radar and thought we would be ok. I’m glad that we went because it turned out to be a beautiful day! We ended up going 24.12 miles- which is the farthest we have ever gone! It took 3 hours—we stopped here and there to take pictures and for water breaks though. I burned 1143 calories. It was a great workout and my legs sure are tired! We had so much fun and can’t wait to do it again! Here are some pictures from our ride

We even got to try the coconut water. I have to say it did a great job of making me feel hydrated—but I wasn’t crazy about the taste.

After going about 10 miles—we thought about that episode of BL where they biked the marathon, so we thought we would do the same thing. Unfortunately…

We got about 12 miles out though. I think this is still from damage from the severe floods in 2008? Not really sure.

It was absolutely gorgeous outside. So peaceful and quiet…aside from my incessant chatter… Winking smile
