Perfect day to just ride*. * Manny led us on a great route. Fun! How far did we ride? No idea. Ideal per Grant, "Count things that add up fast, come easy, and encourage you." (*Just Ride,* Ch. 2 - Don't count miles)
Just know the journey was high in smiles per mile. Thanks for sharing the pics Manny and Cyclofiend Jim.
