Got back to cycling this year after a four year hiatus. Life became busy, and we put off riding, but kept up our walking schedule. It takes extra effort to gear up to ride, checking tire pressure, doing stretches to limber up, etc. Best time is early morning 9 - 9:30 am to beat the heat and traffic. We ride out 1/2 hour and back 1/2 hour usually covering 15 miles or so. This includes lots of hills on 44th Avenue and CR 215, along with 48th Avenue heading west, and the killer hill on the way back on 44th "Larry's hill" as we refer to it. It feels so good when we're done!

An added bonus this year includes passing a couple of Amish farms on 48th Avenue. One family was picking up hay bales using a steam engine tractor pulling a trailer. At the second farm we are greeted by 2 very young children, jumping and waving, saying "hi" as we pass. They're adorable!
