Marcella and I got out this morning for a Saturday morning bike ride. She’s been wanting to get back on the bike and we finally managed to get up and get it done.

We took Hilltop to Grandover to Guilford College and then Mackay back home. In total it was just over 13 miles. The pace wasn’t high, but it was a good start for getting her comfortable again in the saddle, and there are a couple of demanding hills that take coming to grips with, and she managed them with an easy steadiness.

The weather is nice. Warm, but not severely uncomfortable yet. All in all it was a real nice morning. Now we are drinking coffee and watching Stage 8 of the Tour de France.
