Our Bike Trip on Sunday, Sept.14th

I barely missed running this guy over!
Enjoying the sun!
"Tom, what are you looking at?"

Paw Paw Tunnel~Bike Ride on Sunday, Sept. 14th

You've heard of the light at the end of the tunnel...here's proof that it really exists! :o)
The temperature difference inside the tunnel and the outside was about 30 degrees.

The tunnel is 3,118 feet long
This sign cracked us up! It was so isolated on the trail and then this???

For a moment we thought we were at Machu Picchu!

Last Set of Pics, Bike Ride on Sunday, Sept. 14th

The trail was a sloppy mess...as you can see!

Another trip finished...

Total miles: 38.52! It was hot...over 90 degrees and very humid but we had a FANTASTIC day!

25 Miles...What a Ride!

I can't believe that it's been almost 2 years since posting on this blog and a year since my last bike ride. Tom and I were biking regularly and as life tends to do sometimes, it got in the way of our beloved hobby. I guess kids, work, stress, and weight gain all played a part in our bike trips being put on the back burner.

Our ride was fantastic. We rode for 25 1/2 miles on the Western Maryland Rail Trail. (about 1 1/2 miles of it was on the C&O canal towpath)

We saw quite a bit of wildlife today to include: several wild turkeys, 5 or 6 deer (one had a fawn with her...see pic), a red squirel, several grey squirels, a groundhog, a beautiful hawk, lots and lots of butterflies, and of course many types of bird too. I saw two indigo buntings...I was excited because I don't get to see them very often. They are such beautiful birds with remarkable blue plumage.

Today was so much fun and it felt great to be out on the trail again!
