Saturday Gravel Ride

Heather:
Due to winter roads full of black junk & salt we decided to take a gravel ride with our mountain bikes The temperature was nice, almost 40 with clouds. Mom & Dad took the kids after church, so Phil came along. We road from our house & quickly discovered a mountain of a hill. Our workout plan said "bike 1 hr steady". It said nothing about monster hills, but we did our best & made it a brick (walked part of the hill, to our credit it was super long & steep).

It was a great workout & came home muddy & completely warn out. We are getting stronger each workout and learning to be patient in this journey. Nothing is happening quickly. And we are enjoying the ride.

On a side note: This was the first time we've been on a bike and smelled wood burning stoves. We felt hard core for a few minutes!

picture: you can not tell how muddy we were, but we're done with our ride & still smiling! LIFE IS GOOD and we're thankful for bodies & families that allow us to do this.
