My neighbor Dawn and I pulled out our cue sheets from CyLowes fabulous Hills of Horror ride and headed back to Cross Plains this morning after discovering last night that all of our children where busy for today and we were FREE!!!!!!! So what are two gals to do .....shop, lunch.....head back to Cross Plains, YEAH!!!!

Got there around 9:00 ....had a quick java and took off. What a fabulous day to ride.

For those of you with us last ride, Dawn was thrilled today to make it up every hill without walking!!! I actually got off my bike on observatory and ran back down the hill to cheer her up the final climb.

We just love riding there. Stopped in Blue Mound for lunch and then made one other stop since we missed the Vermont Church Rd. turn and went pretty far off course but it was so scenic we didn't care.

We ended up with 70 miles.

We'll try to get our act together earlier next time so we can invite you all to join us.

We were trying to imagine riding Observatory from the other direction which is what it looks like you did for HHH I told her we could turn around and go back up, but she declined.
