This morning Ann and I decided to take the tandem out and do the course we plan for Saturday. Since Ann had something to attend until 11 am, we didn’t get started until 11:30 am. It was getting a bit warm by then and the temperature was really climbing by the time we finished the 50 mile course. We ended up with nearly 2,500 feet of climbing also.

We took some PBJ sandwiches with us, along with some grapes. That was nice to have when we reached the end of Croy, at around miles 20. After a 15 minute or so rest, we jumped back on the tandem and finished the ride back home. That last 30 miles had some of the steepest climbs and the temperature was in the mid 90′s by the time we finished. I do okay with the heat but Ann doesn’t like to ride in it. But we do fine and are now quite comfortable to do this route on Saturday, together on the tandem.
