Over Hill…Over dale…and hill…and hill…you get the picture

Major milestone today. Today, instead of packing up the bikes and driving to Scott county to ride a few laps around Lake Cleary…we rode from home (Burnsville) to Scott county to Lake Cleary…rode a lap around the lake then rode home. All said, total was 29 miles. 29 very, very, very hilly miles. But another mile we hit was an ironic milestone. It is 2 days shy of exactly 6 months since we rode our bikes for the first time since we were kids. That day we loaded the bikes up on the back of the car and drove them to Cleary Lake. One lap around the lake is 3.5 miles, we could only do one lap that fateful day, we stopped 6 times at least due to exhaustion and walked up 2 hills…we thought we were going to die. Today was incredible, today felt full circle. Here are some photo-goodness of our day. Click to "Super-size"...



This was only one stretch of the hilly goodness we traveled, doesn't it look roller-coaster fun??

...And another one...



David, Aaron and Matthew as seen at Lake Cleary during our "rest stop". Matthew is quite happy playing with Aaron's pocket knife. Kept him pretty occupied for the good part of 30 minutes!



...Wonder what he's thinking...

He's probably thinking...we have to ride all those hills home now...huh...

Don't ever give up!!
Peace out!
