In Training
Well I say that title is a little over the top, but I am trying to get on the bike because Heidi and I are going to register for the Bike Tour in two weeks.
We went on a cool bike ride this afternoon. :o) I'm sure if you check her site, she's writing about it too. I mapquested the trip, and I think we rode for a total of 20 miles or so. Now that seems VERY impressive to me.. but I'm sure not at all to Michael & Nicole, who have biked to San Diego. Maybe one day...
Anyway... it was a good challenge with four hills that tested my mental strength. The trip there was a little longer than the trip back. (See below for the route there). On the way back we stuck to the roads and ended up going down the Naples turn off where yes, I ate it on my bike for the first time. When you are frustrated, resist slamming on your front break really hard. Definately a difference between HB people and LB people. HB snobs... LB gotta love em.
Ok... here's our cool route. And if any of you know how to get a bigger map without losing a bunch of detail, please let me know. :o) Oh, and I did it in paint... excuse the wabbley line. (No, we weren't drunk!)
Biking in HB isn't great. I think it's sometimes more of a tourist factor than a local snob factor. People are clueless. I don't have much experience in LB, but NB is the most fun. ;)
