Everything about today was.....PERFECT!!! It wasn't obvious that that would be the case as we organized ourselves to ride in the morning. It was only 37 degrees when I woke up at 6:30. And the temperature had only risen a few degrees as we headed out around 8:00. But as the sun rose we were treated to a day of pure blue skies, gentle breezes and temperatures in the low 70s. Most of the roads were easy riding and the terrain was rolling hills through green farmland. Seventy miles slipped away quickly. No dogs, no crosswinds, no aggressive drivers, no thigh burning hills. We have had many memorable days of riding, but conditions could not get much more perfect than today.
Our amazing good fortune of not having to ride in the rain continues. I know that at some point in the future I will be writing about our first day of rain, but it does not appear to be coming up in the immediate future.
Tomorrow is a day off our bicycles. I plan to sleep in, get my hair cut, find an ATM, read and eat :-) !
Sounds wonderful! I hadn't thought about such things and getting haircuts and money along the way! Enjoy your day of rest. Hopefully you will continue to dodge the rain.
