My sister and I went for a bike ride today on a rails to trails bike trail. It was a pretty warm out there but we had a great time.
I don’t think we biked more than 10 miles all told, but along the way we saw lakes and gardens and a couple of cats.
Some of it was shady and some of it was downhill. The best parts were shady and downhill!
We bought some lemonade from a stand run by a bunch of little girls. It tasted wonderful. And we found a huge patch of black raspberries to enjoy. Those sure were yummy.
We stopped in a little town and bought a couple of cookies from the bakery and a sandwich from a local restaurant. We ate them both at a picnic table while watching the town’s librarian do story hour for little kids in the park.
I guess, thinking back on it we did more eating than riding. But that’s what makes a good ride! We only have one more day of vacation left. I don’t know how we’ll spend it but it will be together!

With all your running and now biking, you must need those cookies! (Though I am most envious of your raspberries!) Enjoy each other 🙂

Sounds like a perfect summer day! I’ve been picking lots of black raspberries this week, have to fight the mosquitoes, but they are worth it 🙂

I had a handful of wild strawberries while doing the bird atlas this week. Strawberries and blackberries sure are a refreshing treat along the way.
