Just a bike ride

Not too long ago Jake and I up and decided to take a bike ride. We ended up going up the hill and around the temple. I admit I had to take a few breaks and use a low gear to get up there. I take little rides for fun now and then, but this one was about 10 miles and I was definitely winded. We played around a little bit on the sidewalks up there and then saw some of the new additions to the gardens on campus. The whole horticulture department up there is quite amazing and they have done a lot to create a beautiful area. On the way back we took the SUPER STEEP HILL down. I was pretty cautious, but Jake went all out - I think the speed meter he has said he reached 46 mph! on a bike! A pedal bike! Yeah, it was pretty nuts, but no incident occurred. whew! My legs felt like wet noodles when we finally got home, but it felt good to get out and push myself a little bit. Just wanted to share some pictures of our afternoon: Jake putting air in his tires, and me eating a fudge Popsicle before our excursion.

Go you guys! It sounds like so much fun! Me and blaine used to go on long bikes rides or roller blading. With Blaine gone so much this summer we were pretty boring. lol I'm excited for next summer (already!).
