Ride on!

I mentioned Pat and I have been doing more bike riding lately. This pic was taken last month at Berry Creek Falls which is somewhere in Big Basin State Park. We parked at Waddell Beach and rode mostly uphill and through the redwood forest. We locked up our bikes and hiked up to the falls, had lunch, hiked back down and rode out. All together it was about 12 miles on the bikes and 1.2 mile hike - a total of 2 1/2 hours. It was a great day - exercise, fresh air and nature.
We've been going at least twice a week any where from an hour to two and a half. I am loving the riding - getting addicted, even. I am developing an odd farmer tan, though.
Pat got me a speedometer/odometer computer thingy for my bike and I found out today that our Los Gatos Creek ride we take is not 10 miles, but 11.4. In the past four weeks I've ridden about 110 miles. It doesn't sound like that much, but a lot of it has been quite hilly. I've shed some weight and I can feel the difference in my legs. Now if only the weather will hold up.....
