Tough Day Made Easier, Meeting Old and New Friends

We all made the decision to bike today even though the total of yesterday was 35 miles. Today a small 25 miles but a group bonding event, tough times bring out the inner person. None of us except Becca are anywhere near being bikers. We stopped for lunch in a quaint village and got bread and cheese, simple to match our moods. Huge thunder storm passed by as we sheltered in an old barn, man against nature it seemed. Even as I sit now in Treir huge hail is battering my window.

One great part of this trip was the chance to travel again with my friend Becca, a very talented writer. I have had the privilege to have traveled with Becca several times before and her upbeat attitude is always uplifting. Better yet is the chance to meet her daughter Lizzy, a lovely young lady soon heading to Smith College. There is something so cool meeting a daughter of a colleague, one whose name I have heard for years. Thanks ladies for making a tough day easy.
