So after weeks of training (sorta)... we did it! We biked 40 km to Lakefield and back (stopping for an ice cream once we got there). Naturally it poured rain on us for about 5 minutes, while we could see blue sky everywhere but straight up. But we would expect nothing less.
When I say training, I really just mean we took progressively longer bikes every Sunday for the last month or so. We biked out to the airport, we biked out to the zoo; we went from 8 km to 32 km. I am really glad we spent that time getting ready for it though. We aren't diehards, nor were we trying to beat any time; it was just meant to be a enjoyable bike ride. But I think it would have been excruciating if we hadn't done some practice beforehand. As it is, even with gel seats, it's an uncomfortable adventure for the butt! It was a really nice trip though, the path to Lakefield is quite beautiful. I think it would be a really nice route to take in the fall; the colours would be spectacular.
So that's goal #33, all done!
