 Back on the Trail
I have been away from the bike for a week and a half, so I was very determined to ride today. Once on the bike I realized that it was very windy out and I was riding into the teeth of that wind. The ride up the trail was a tough slugfest, but I made it. I stopped at the Creamery and had a Dulce de Leche / Vanilla twist. It was just Jenn and me and we talked for a good bit. The ride back down the trail was much quicker and easier with the wind behind me. There were a couple of times that I turned into a crosswind and one swirling wind, but it was mostly smooth sailing home. There was also a small groundhog running down the trail. I've seen groundhogs along the trail before but not on the trail.
