Bloody Sunday Birthdays!!!

We agreed to meet Sunday morning by 11am for a couple of celebratory Bloody Marys and perhaps what would be the last bike ride of the season (for the others anyway!!).

It was quite daring to sign-up for a bike ride this time of year...it was 47 degrees outside when I woke up and only 52 degrees when we started off with the sun up..., but everyone showed; their chaps & gloves in tow and off we went.

Our first leg was a mere 35 miles - beautifully colored autumn scenery - nobody seriously bitched, no limbs froze and the company & the Bloodys' were worth the trip.

By the time we set off for our next stop it had warmed up to a comfortable 65 degrees, and I for one could have kept right on riding. Instead we cozily settled in to watch a Green Bay Packer game, sampled mystery shots each time the Packers scored and laughed out loud A LOT (BTW...the Packers kicked butt!!)

Unfortunately someone noticed that it had become dark outside...our cue to head out..., so the remaining four bikes headed down the highway and one-by-one broke off for home. I could be mistaken, but I believe it was warmer than it had been all day ~
