Second 25 mile ride

Saturday  we went on a ride - originally we intended to ride 27 miles, but as we started on a continuous grade for about 2 miles are energy quickly depleted and we quickly changed our mind to base this ride on time and not distance.  So we decided we would ride for an hour and then turn around.  A gravel trail is definitely a little more tasking than riding on pavement.  We will need to ride on pavement this weekend and add in some more rolling hills.  Unfortunately, we haven't find the perfect road to ride on yet.  

Trip Distance:  25.26 miles
Trip Time: 1:53:19 (a little under two hours because we made great time on the way back)
Average Speed: 13.37 mph 
Maximum Speed: 22.62 mph 

Not too bad.  I also have to say that we realized how blessed we were and how amazingly kind people are.  Clay lost his wallet after the ride either left it on the truck or dropped it.  We came home before realizing as he headed back to find it I actually started calling to cancel his credit cards.  Later that afternoon I got a call from Giant Eagle because someone called them with Clay's wallet and met us later that afternoon to return it.  There are some wonderful people in this world and we are so blessed that one of those wonderful people found clay's wallet. 

The montour trail!
