One small trip for a normal cyclist – one GIANT ride for me. 😀 Thanks to our friends Tammie & Greg, and their kiddos Madison, Mitchell, & Macy, we took quite a ride on Saturday. We went from their house to Rockford, spent some time relaxing (and giving me time to stop panting…), and then rode back to their place. The total? About 11 miles (round trip) of riding. It was Macy’s first time to make the trip, and she did GREAT!

How did we do? Well, Vicki flies on that beautiful blue bike of hers. As for the big guy, I actually did alright. Got a little tired at times, and my knees crabbed at me at times, but the sense of accomplishment I felt at the end of the ride made it all worth it.

How I felt SUNDAY, tho, is a different matter. 😀 I’m kidding. I’m a bit stiff and sore today, but not all that bad. Good thing, considering I think we’re going to do that ride again on Tuesday with our small group. Yee haw! 😀
