Anniversary Trip — Part Two

It started off very nice. It was a bit foggy still, and the sun was behind the clouds, so it made for a beautiful ride. But about a mile into the trip, it started to rain. It wasn’t too bad, at first. It was just misting a bit. But before too long, it was raining pretty good. By this point we figured we might as well just finish the loop, because we were gonna get soaked either way, so no since in going back. So on we go, up hills and down, in the rain. I was ok at first. But let me tell you, after about 5 miles, I thought I was going to die. Not only was the road very up and down, but I was now soaking wet. Even my shoes were wet all the way through. I did a lot of walking with my bike up several hills, but I finally made it to the end, and lived to tell about it.

While biking the loop, in the rain, we saw lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery. So it made the trip worth all the hard work.

We encountered a bear on the side of the road. He was looking for bugs in a log. I thought it was very cool to see one so close. While Trevor stopped to take some pictures, I walked my bike past him slowly, in hopes that he wouldn’t notice me. I didn’t have to worry. He was too busy looking for bugs, to take time for a soaking wet biker.

We saw a lot of turkey. Some were running across the road in front of us, and others were making their way across the open fields.

One of the old cabins along the road. There were several of these. We could have stopped at each one and looked inside, but we really wanted to be dry again, so on we went.
