We Did It: 60 Miles!

04/21/2014

The pics below are proof that we actually finished a 60-mile bike ride.

It kind of sucked.

Here's, specifically, what sucked: Head wind and rain, lots and lots of both. Sore, so sore, all over body hurt.

But it was also really awesome.

Here's, specifically, what was awesome:Baby lambs, horses, miniature donkeys, eagles perched in tree (ok, only one), sheep, cows, furry goats, miles and miles of beautiful pasture and rolling hills. And making it to the cutest 300-feet of a small town, Edison; friendly bikers who helped us change a flat tire. Oh, and the gorgeous explosion of tulips and daffodils in La Conner. I'm sure V has better impressions, but these are just the ones that are top of mind after getting over the shock of having done this crazy thing. --Bee

Bee is a semi-faux bicyclist: during the warmer months she gets her %$#@ together for the 14-mile commute to work. But on average she only bikes about 10% annually (in her head it’s 50%). Her first commuting bike was a knock-off Trek. Her second commuter bike, the Newmar motor coach of bikes, is a Giant electric. She's going with a Cannondale road bike for the STP. Bee plans to get in STP survival mode with a combo of cycling, tennis, and running.

While V has tons of wonderful bike memories ranging from her second-hand Schwinn with the green banana seat to her beloved electric commuter bike, and loves that they've taken her everywhere from the mall to Belgium, she's never rode more than 20 miles at a time and is kind of terrified that she's signed up for 205+.
