Today was what us bikers call a doozy. We spent the day at Moran State Park where we did almost no biking at all. Anyways, we started our day later than usual which was much appreciated by everyone. We took our time in the morning with oatmeal and cereal for breakfast. Then after a while […]
We started off the day with some delicious warm oatmeal, which felt so good in the less-than beach-ready morning climate. Some of the smaller hills to overcome were faced in the early morning with spoke and tire pressure problems. Nonetheless, within twenty minutes we were on the road for a long but far enjoyable day.
