Roller Coaster on Two Wheels

It's thundering outside. Hopefully my computer doesn't explode. But for now I'm going to sit back, relax after a long day's cycling, and listen to the weather as I sketch all this down. Today was a lot of fun, and there was a camera involved. I took Katya to see the Shrine. We stopped for sandwiches on the way, and sat around looking over the land and the ocean in the distance for quite a while before deciding to try the part of the loop my father had shown me. It was only about a 2 mile addition, but those hills were mighty hills. On the way back, those hills were sloping down. What a thrill! On the hardest gear, peddling was still ridiculously simple. The way back was a blast, and when we approached our houses, we decided to tack on a few extra miles on the back roads. We didn't go too far, and it was very flat, but I could suddenly feel the strain after what we'd already done. I'm happy though; today was so nice, even with the crazy winds.
