To County Road 10 and Home: 16.59 miles
Tandem Pedal Time: 1 hour 17 minutes, average speed 12.8
But I don’t want to pack the bike away yet! We began cranking down our country road heading west into the 12-mph winds and 40-degree temperatures unsure just how many miles we could comfortably ride before we would become numb from the cold. As we continued pedaling and an enjoyable conversation began, we were surprised to realize we were soon miles away from home. The only factor preventing us from continuing further down the road was the reality that the sun would be setting at 6:32 p.m. and the lights would go out. We are hoping the snow holds off long enough for us to get at least 3000 miles on the bike for the year—we haven’t seen that number since 2008. It will take some motivation and dedication but we know it is possible.
