We finally had a Saturday free to do something fun - all of our boxes are unpacked, the house was clean, most of the laundry was done, the "to-do list" was completed. The bikes were calling our names!!!
When Tim talks about going on a bike ride, its never a short casual ride around the block.
We were feeling a bit adventerous and decided to bike all the way over to Sanibel Island! We thought, "it's only 15.5 miles each way, how hard could it be?" HA! We made it there and back...barely. 31 miles in 95 degree weather was more challenging than we expected. The causeway bridge that's as tall as a mountain was probably the worst of times (on the way up) and the best of times (on the way down)!
In the end...it really was a lot of fun. I'm sure we'll do it again sometime (when the weather cools down).
Tim got his fix of hard core single-track biking yesterday with a guy from church (Brian). They both returned with no serious injuries! Yippee!
