Breaking records and rolling to better health...

33 miles.

A new milestone for my wife in her self-proclaimed quest to build a fitter geek.

Our ride took us along quiet country roads with farmland as far as the eye could see. The sound of silence during water breaks was inspiring. It would have been easy to find a fence post to lean the bikes against and sit down to enjoy the silence and that big blue sky above.
At the halfway point, in Castroville, TX
Instead, we hopped back on our bikes and listened to the wind in our ears and enjoyed the cool breeze on our faces.

Quite an awesome experience, I must say.

Kudos, Shannon! Congrats on the mileage milestone - you did a superb job!

This sure beats riding the bike trainer alone in the house! I look forward to every ride with you. I don't look forward to summer temperatures, but we'll deal with that when the time comes. :-)

Very good information about your bike. I'm gonna buy the same. Could you tell me your bike size and your steam? I assume this size is working on you.

Thanks.
