In one of her more air-headed moments (and much to Whitney's dismay), Josh kindly explained to her that 21 speed on a bike does not equal 21 miles per hour! This "fun fact" would have been nice to know before embarking on a 30 mile bike ride this morning and getting to the point of "no return" (i.e. the 15 mile marker in which you simply turn your bike around and start going back to the car...)
2 and a half hours later, at roughly 11 MPH, we returned to the car quite sore ;)...Whitney thought it would be just like hopping on her bike when she was in Triathlon shape (you may be asking yourself at this point in the post- if Whitney completed a Triathlon, how would she not know that the "speed" of her bike does not equate to the miles traveled per hour? - It's a wonder really. However, she also completed most of her cycling training indoors and on a mountain bike. We'll leave it at that :)
Today we enjoyed riding 30 miles on the Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail- just a 10-15 minute drive from our house.
Tomorrow it's back to work for the both of us, however, we can't complain after a nice, long weekend!
(halfway point)
This weekend we also enjoyed playing a round of golf with Josh's brother Matt and Josh's golfing buddy.
It was one of the first days we've spent here where we could actually say we felt like we lived in Florida!
