Slept in a bit this morning and missed saying "goodbye" to Gail before she left for Florida. My bad, baby, I Love You.( Hopefully you arrive in one piece to read this). Saturday morning ride with the Hammer, really just an outing in the country on a beautiful day. Just the drive up to the reservoir was stunning - fog over the fields being burned away by early morning sunshine. Starting from the Frying Pan out across the dykeway and up 28A, past the library, past Snyders Tavern and out to the bridge which marks exactly 10 miles out. The bridge spans a modest gorge with beautiful views up and downstream. Took a few photos then turned around. heading back we took a little detour up the road marked "Grahamsville/Sundown". What a beautiful little side trip - gradual ascent past upland farms, meadows, barns, streams and all the other things that make living in the country the only life I would ever want. Feast your eyes!!! The run back down was fairly quick, then back out 28A, across the dyke then home to the Frying Pan. Surprisingly it was a solid 25 mile ride. Got home feeling like there was electricity running through me. Finish it off with a "healthy lunch" from the farm stand and then...
...a nap!!!
