Cape Cod Trial Run

Our Cape Cod ride was a success (except for maybe a little chaffing!!!) We woke up early Sunday Morning, picked up Laura and headed up to Plymouth. After a little sight seeing of the rodes in Plymouth we found our route and headed out to the Cape.

The ride was great, not to hilly and I didn't fall over on my bike (yeah I was kind of thinking of that because of the weight) The walk over the bridge was awesome, I even found a dime, but didn't pick it up because I was a little nervous of the whole falling into oncoming traffic!

We ended up riding 55 miles Sunday and at the end of the day by butt was a little soar. We took our time, of course stopping for lots of snack breaks which included some delicious ice cream called purple cow (black rasberry with white and chocolate chips!) yummm

We stayed at a nice campsite, the only dissapointing part was not finding the pool, and maybe the blinding whiteness of Dan walking around without a shirt to try and conserve on his clothing usage.....oh lord can't wait for CA......bt we whipped up some delicious macaroni and hit the hay

Laura was up at the crack of dawn the next day, she even woke up before me which is kinda hard to do! We packed up, Laura headed to the aunts, Dan and I headed to P-Town. We hooked up with the rail trail for awhile, got some bfast, then headed out on the roades toward Trorro and Ptown, great day and the rain held off until we were loading up on the Ferry!

So we are pretty pumped for CA, and I am even more pumped to get my leg muscles measure pre-trip....hahaha...I'll have to eat some more that day to bulk them up so I can beat out my two partners...

We are still trying to come up for a name for our group...any suggestions are welcome!

You are DEFINITELY going to have the biggest calf muscles at the end of the trip! That's a fun activity to put a poll on your blog. Very clever! Sounds like Cape Cod was a success, now for the big adventure! Goodluck and have fun!
