This morning, despite the cold weather (it was 41° F), Jonathan and I decided to go for our usual Friday ride. We have made a commitment to continue our rides into the fall and through the winter to the extent possible, and we both have been buying winter riding gear. For today's ride, I led Jonathan on the route I took last Saturday which took us further east through the Middletown Valley allowing for some different panoramas than we get by staying on the western edge of the valley. Over the ride, we covered 31 miles and had over 1,800 feet of climbing. Tomorrow, we (my wife and I) plan to take the Bilenky on that same ride. I can promise you we won't conquer the route at the same rate we did on today's ride.
Today's steed.

I can't believe I had this picture taken!
This is proof I'm wearing tights and whatnot. I'm still trying to get past it...
