16 MILE DURHAM RIDE *

16 Mile Durham ride.   It took us 2 hours to do the very first time.  We know can do it in 1 hour and 15 minutes.  I say that is an improvement.  Not many pictures with this ride, but more huffing and puffing.  


 

 16 miles is nothing to us now, but back then it was like WOW we did it.  And talk about not fitting the profile of a cyclist.  We got the looks of like WTF?     We been biking over 3 years and we our selves have only seen two other people who were at the time our size.   We mainly see very athletic and skinny people.  And what's really cool we see a lot of elderly couples that look to be in their 70 and 80's.    You don't see that with people who run and if you do it's on the new's because it's that rare.   

       Stunning.  I'm sporting my elegant cycling cloth and leather jacket.  LOL   It was cold.   What can I say Chris and I ride in our own style.  We didn't have our sporty back packs yet, so as you can see we had to carry everything in plastic bag, mind you designer plastic bags.
