39 Miles

Today was beautiful. Cool, cloudy, nice breeze. Andy and I headed out to the Silver Comet Trail again, and Trent headed to a softball tournament with his co-workers. It was a day made for being outside. Andy and I biked 39 miles today on the trail--over a gorge and through some tunnels, including one that was so long it needed lights.

We stopped at a festival, where Andy got a homemade sausage, and then the vendor gave us both some fresh fruit--for free! Then, since some of the vendors at the festival were closing down, a lady in a SUV almost ran over Andy's bike (stopping only when I yelled, "Whoa!") and his bike chain began grinding into my calf as her vehicle pushed it into me. Fun times. At least I was wearing a helmet.

Back at the house, we dined on homemade macaroni and cheese, tuna salad, and brownies topped with raspberry sherbet. Mmmm, tasty.

Hope everyone's Saturday was as fun as mine!

Katie, you and Andy are really going to town(and festivals)with your bike riding. That is amazing 39 miles! I am glad that you were not hurt, but could have turned out much differently. We look forward to more bike adventures of Katie and Andy.

Sounds like an interesting day. Sorry you got hurt. GLAD your mishap wasn't serious. You rode 39 miles on a bike and then went home and made supper! Homemade macaroni and cheese? What a woman!!!
