Saturday Ride

We decided that even though the weather was kind of iffy to go out any way, and on a new route we hadn't done before.  The air was damp but the road was dry.  If you can understand what it's like to be hot and cold at the same time with dampness then that is what our ride was like today.  I didn't have to drink a lot from my camelpak since it was so damp in the air, it makes for retaining water a little easier.  Our route from today is below, it was 20 miles around a nearby lake.  We did it in 1:48:25 with 20 of those minutes taking hoodies off, and putting them back on blowing noses and wiping of sweat.  It was warmer on the east side of the lake with very little wind, the west side however was much chillier and the wind was coming right at us most of the way back.  It was a great ride!

And here's an interesting picture from today.  It's a beaver dam, complete with beaver swimming nearby.  We live in Waldo County in Maine, and seeing a satellite dish on top of a beaver dam in Waldo County doesn't exactly surprise me at all, but it's still really funny.  The landowner put out big huge signs nearby that said "no hunting" because they raise deer there.
