Adventures Near and Far
“I just like the way the world looks from a bicycle seat.”
Saturday was filled with friends, activity, and sunshine.
Eight of us headed out for an adventure.
Destination: Virginia countryside.
And a few of these.
Check out my (super-technical) biking outfit.
I was a little overdressed for most of the day but once we reached fancy-shmancy Varitas and the velour couches I fit right in! 🙂
Mmmmmm, Varitas wine is yummy!
Refueling station!
Valet parking.
The scenery was outstanding. I ♥ green mountains big time.
Our legs and lungs pedaled us about 20 miles of rolling rural roads. I was the least experienced biker of the group but I managed to keep up, even if I brought up the rear as we climbed Afton Mountain! I’ve always ridden a bike and I bike commuted an hour a day when I lived in Portland but I’ve never ridden long distances or used biking as exercise. This ride was hard but so much fun! I want to do this more often!
Tate and I are heading out on another adventure this afternoon. We are driving to New York City to celebrate my grandmother’s 90th birthday with a dinner party. My cousin and his fiance were kind enough to let us crash at their condo in Brooklyn for a few days of family and city fun. We are taking the long route home-Jersey Shore here we come!
P.S BTW the first quote is from the best thing to come out of the 90’s, Singles!
