As usual, a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, Amy told me she would put her best face on for the self-portrait. If this photo were going to be part of a curated special exhibit at the American Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, it might be captioned "I used up all my vacation time for THIS?"
We have learned that 90% of the riders are on real road bikes (think skinny tires and curved handle bars, i.e. what Lance Armstrong rides). This, along with the clip-on shoes most of them wear, is what enables them to pass us on our hybrid bikes, going uphill, seemingly at twice our speed.
Salvation of our marriage may depend upon acquiring a tandem roadbike sometime in the next few days...

Hang in there, Amy!! You'll get your second wind and it will seem easier. In high school I did a bike ride from Indee to Clear Lake, up into Minn., back east and down into Indee. The farther you go, the easier it gets...really! Adam, trade off your bike if you have to! Keep Amy happy!!!
