Enjoying the ride

Yesterday's ride was about completion and proving to myself that I could do 60 miles and hills. I didn't do a good job of enjoying the ride and the scenery around me. I was too excited to get back on my bike after taking a break while recovering from my stitches.

Today was different. 30 miles and a 1200 ft climb-- I slowed it way down and really enjoyed the ride. Highlights from the day included stopping at a beautiful lake, chalk drawings in the road, visiting a flea market, and stopping at an old general market.

Currently I am in New London, CT. I am in an epic cuddle puddle. Life is good.
