The weatherman was promising an amazingly high temperature on this mid-November day so biking has to be on our list of must do’s. The early morning sky was gray and bleak when we set out on the Root River Trail. The temperature was in the 40’s so we dressed in our late season gear. We climbed up to Fountain first and enjoyed the glide down. As we began to climb up towards lunch in Harmony, we began to shed some of our outer clothing as the temperature was now in the 60’s and would reach 79 by ride’s end. With our bright yellow jackets now packed in our bike packs, we felt a little vulnerable as the hunter's bullets rang out around us. Can bike helmets stop a speeding bullet?
While resting in Harmony at the Crunchy Side, we realized we would reach our 111 goal for November and are now only 235 miles away from a total of 19,000 miles on the Rans. This would require the snow to hold through December but anything’s possible. Let’s go for it!
