30 miler

Well, tonight was interesting. Trent, Todd, and I went on a 30 mile bike ride through three counties. WOW! In case you didnt know, 30 miles is far on a bicycle. It was awesome though. Although we were all pretty much beat by the end, it felt great to accomplish 30 miles. We did have a few incidents though. To start off, the first few miles were brutal: against the wind, bumpy gravel roads, hills, we almost gave up just then. Then we almost got hit by a car.......it wasnt a four way stop, no more blowing stop signs......then we saw a guy in a truck lose a trailer of hay......and didnt realize it. Good times. One of the things I love about biking is that you get to see things you usually dont in a car. In a car, you are most often moving too fast to take in the scenary, and you are enclosed so you cant smell the smells, feel the warmth and breeze, taste the bugs........I actually had a butterfly fly into my mouth while we were riding tonight........seriously. Now generally that doesnt happen to me in a car......but every once in a while.....ha. Here are some pics of our adventure.

Next is a 40 miler, coming up next week.
