We're back and still walking after Biking the Bluegrass to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Again, many thanks to everyone who donated - not just those of you who gave money, but also everyone who said prayers for our safety and offered words of encouragement. The weather was perfect (overcast and cool), and the routes we took were beautiful. Saturday was tough; I wasn't prepared for the hills, and I think we brought too much in our panniers. I almost made my goal of not having to stop, but one mile from the finish line, I had to walk my bike up the remainder of a hill. Ouch! But Sunday, I made it through all the hills without stopping, and increased my average speed to 13 mph from 11 mph.

I've uploaded some photos to my gallery. The captions should help explain more of the details of our trip and our stay at Centre.

We'll probably do this again next year in addition to the Old Kentucky Home bike tour this September. Anyone interested in joining us? We'll need to start training now - I sure wasn't prepared for the degree of difficulty the course presented. We'll be better prepared next time!
