Freewheelers to Alger

The Freewheelers biked to Alger today! We left the county, it's kind of a big deal.
13.5 miles, 62 F, about 1 hour, Ariel Kellen and Dara (we've expanded!)
The trek was much more oscillatious than expected, so I was tuckered out by the time we got there. It was one of those rides where you are so glad to get to the top of the hill and you start to coast down, and then you turn a corner to find an even bigger hill looming in the distance, and you just have to say "ah fuck" and then pedal harder. But even when you realize your body hates you for subjecting it to this torture, when you finish you feel so accomplished and can't wait to do it again. But perhaps another day.

Stoo drove and brought us sandwiches! He's such a good fella, I'm a lucky duck <3. Then we whimped out and called Sarah to pick us up in her minivan. And then ate ice cream.

More bike trips to come with this amazing spring weather!
