Roland and I got to take a fun little trip to the "Mountains" of western Virginia. Okay, so they weren't huge mountains, but Roland still killed me on the bike climbing all of the many rolling hills. With the exception of the (quite honestly, terrifying) streets of Harrisonburg (home of James Madison University) the 6 hour bike ride took us through some beautiful countryside. My chain broke right at the bottom of our last major assent (darn it:). So I had to sit out the last 5 miles of the 50 miler. I'm sure Roland will want it noted that it did not, in fact, take 6 hours to do the 50 miles--we stopped for lunch, the obligatory visit to the local bike shop, and got lost numerous times on the streets of Harrisonburg thanks to Roland's latest bike-mounted GPS:) It was a fun trip. Thanks to Deanna for taking care of the folks at home.

Fun and grueling weekend chronicle! I'm sure it was all-in-a-day for you two, but it's still a great and bonding experience. Thanks for the pictures and don't worry about the 6-hour noting...I was convinced you did it in a few:) Who cares? You did it! I sure hope this one posts are three comments didn't make it on Betsy's blog! Love you guys.
