The ride!

This morning we woke up early
and put on some extra layers to protect ourselves
from the chilly first hours of the day 
(it was 39 degrees when we set off!)

The ride was stunningly beautiful
and (thank goodness!) totally flat.
I made it through the entire 42 mile loop
although by the last few miles I lost any desire to sit down
(next time I am going to put a pillow in my pants)
We have already decided to make this ride a tradition
and next year my sister will get to ride with us too.

I love this picture because
if you look up in the top right corner,
you can just make out a bald eagle sitting on the 
edge of the wooden structure.
