Our extended family invited us to a camping trip some months ago, and the time finally arrived. The invite included many aspects of catching up in all the goings on on in our lives, as well as some activities such as a bike ride and disc golf.
This ride contains two elements - the section in the campground where my lovely alter-abled wife put a few miles on her little Jettson bike, and the longer stretches on local roads to the lavender farm & on to a swimming hole/boat dock. Tim & Laurie have nice long range e-bikes, where I have my somewhat old-school Trek DS3. They knew I had been doing 25-35 mile rides, but they wondered if I had the ability to cover similar ground on my human powered Trek as they can on their e-bikes. As it worked out, I very much enjoyed the trip and did well. Laurie took off from the junction to the swimming hole to head back to the lavender farm at the same time as Tim and me, but didn't wait up. We arrived about 5 minutes after she had, as I had quite an elevation gain over this 3.6 mile segment to summit without electrical help.
All in all, it was a great trip!
