I'll have an actual trip report posted ASAP, but until then here's an email Justin emailed friends and family this afternoon after we joined a friend for a morning bike ride:

It was a great two hour workout and at 15.5 miles our longest bike ride to date. I’ve attached some photos and some GPS tracks from my faithful ForeRunner 201.

Looking forward to our next ride and a new way to keep our hearts healthy and our lives full!!

Here's some photographic proof of the bike ride, since I've been remiss in posting a trip report (what else is new?!)

PS: For the observant, the scar below my left knee (at right, in photo) is from my knee surgery in February to reconstruct my ACL and 'repair' my torn menisci (cartilage). Not too shabby for coming up on 5 months post-op!
