14-Mile Birthday Bike Ride

Today is T’s birthday! We laid around all morning (which allowed me to finish everything I had wanted to do on the computer for the day) then went out for a few hours on our bicycles. We rode all the way to City Island and back. At some point we have both gotten stronger, because even though we rode farther than we have ever ridden together, we didn’t struggle with the hills as much as we used to.

Someone felt the need to visit a bait and tackle shop.

After an ice cream treat we rode the two miles to the far end of the island to enjoy the breeze off the water.

Now my legs are having many words with me. I’m sure they’ll have even more words for me in the morning. But it was worth it. The exercise made the noise that was in my head this morning quiet down to almost nothing. Praises be!
