Well Patrick, my ride yesterday was nothing like yours, but I did enjoy it immensely. It featured one of my favorite short loops through Vermont's back roads -paved, dirt and gravel - with woods and rolling farms. Utterly beautiful. It is only 17+ miles but does include 1100+ feet of climbing. Yesterday's ride on the tandem included both temperatures and humidity in the mid eighties, a chain that did not want to visit the little ring, a swarm of flies that preferred hitchhiking, and a flat tire. But when we crested the highest point and turned south for the return part of the trip a delightful breeze came up to cool our faces. It came up, and up, and up.... until we were pedaling hard to get back down the hill. I have to admit, it did not occur to me to be grateful I wasn't carrying 80 lbs of groceries! Thank you for helping me remember that blessing.
