I got away from my normal routine this morning (15 mile route that I usually do on weekdays) and went for a 23 mile ride. I worked in a lot of off-trail riding (almost 10 miles worth). All I could think of was what my fiancee is missing out on by sticking to the paved trails. Hopefully I can convince her to give it a shot soon!

At any rate, I even took a couple of pictures this time. I haven't taken many because I never have my camera with me, so I have to use my cell phone's camera. The good news is that I have ordered a large top tube bag that should be able to hold my camera, snacks, etc. I'm really looking forward to getting that in the mail!
