We Ride!

Well, we were able to get in 30 miles today. The ride was good, but we had a headwind to struggle with for at least 20 of those miles. But I'm not complaining too much, as it was so hot, we were happy for the wind. We saw lots of barns, horses, & many, many people sitting on their porches waving to us. The drivers here are much better at "sharing the road" then the drivers in Cali. For the most part, they would move way over away from us as they passed by. Many of the barns either had a mural or a quilt painted on the side. No one seems to know what the quilt thing is about, but we never saw a duplicate. It is beautiful here with the green trees and rolling hills, but believe me, the heat is stiffling!!
After riding we took the dogs to the lake, but couldn't find an access point to be able to get in the water. So then we walked a trail along a river. Max was focused on the duck in the water out in the middle where he couldn't get to it, then there was a herd of cows on the other side of the river that drove him crazy!! Snapple was following Max (like a little sister does) until the cows began mooing, then she ran to hide behind my legs.....hahahaha. It was so funny!
Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures soon . . .
G'nite friends.
