M: The trail was much more picturesque today. The trail was covered by a canopy of trees & kept us quite cool despite temperatures in the mid 80's. The trail was bordered by farms with gently rolling terrain & lots of cows - not the black & white variety commonly found in Wisconsin, but shiny black & deep brown beef cattle. The trail was also lined with bright yellow sunflower type blooms that really brightened up the shaded trail.
I had my first & hopefully last accident of the trip. I attempted to come to a stop & was barely moving, but was unable to get my foot out of the clip fast enough & just kind of toppled over. It wasn't very graceful, there was blood (not too much) & a great big bruise. Luckily, I didn't hurt myselt & my pedaling was not affected. I felt better at the end of the day today than I did yesterday. Hopefully I'm getting stronger everyday & the next days will get easier & easier.
The good news is that with all this time on the bike, I'm burining lots of calories & that roughly translates to: DESSERT WITH EVERY MEAL!!!!! I had a very memorable blackberry cobbler at Becky's Burgers & Cones. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
WOW! All of a sudden, we're inundated with blog posts!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys are doing pretty well. That restaurant sounded nice :) I'm jealous of all the dessert you're having!!!
That sounded like my kind of fall, also. Ever so graceful.
Oh! Thought I should let you guys know, your little girl's name was published in the Daily Cardinal (a campus newspaper) because i went in to copy edit. Soon i'll be writing for the campus news section!
love and miss you guys, and have a great rest of your trip!
