or - OMG - Snap really does ride a bike.
I met up with some friends this weekend for the Healdsburg Harvest ride. The weather could not have been better, cool in the morning; warming up after we finished the ride. Since I've not ridden much this year, I only rode the short 25 mile route, thinking I'd avoid all hills. Wrong. There were a few nothing over 3-5% but enough to kick my sorry butt. Took a couple of breaks, but I survived to ride another day.
Foggy Morning
Obligatory bike shot
and proof I really do ride a bike (and hide behind signs)
At the first (and only, for me) rest stop, we spotted this -- I wondered if someone was really riding it.
After munching on oranges, fig newtons and a bit of gatorade, we took off again. I turned of for the shorter route here.
Ran smack into the first hill of the day. Not horrible, at least I never felt like I was gonna die. I took a short break - ahem...to take pictures. Yeah, that's it...pictures.
Looking down the hill:
Scenic view at the mid point.
