St. Charles and Home: 11.55 miles
Tandem Pedal Time: 57 minutes, average speed 12.0
What a cold and heavy ride this was. Cold because our bodies are not used to biking in 40-degree temperatures and heavy because we chose to purchase more groceries than planned on this errand. Milk and laundry soap can add pounds quickly to our packs plus the added wind resistance made for another endurance challenge. The monster hill out of St. Charles seemed gracious to us today, though, and we were at the top before fatigue set in. The cold was not an issue now as our bodies seemed to acquire an internal furnace that comforted us all the way home.
