We’ve been working hard to get in shape since we arrived. Initially we could only bike 4 miles, but now we’re up to ten and so it’s time to bike the Schoodic Acadia park loop road!
The loop was simply lovely! Crystal clear cornflower blue skies, gentle cool breezes, sunlight sparkling on the water! And magnificent views around every corner!
The Bike & we paused at Blueberry Hill to soak it all in! Bliss!
However the long, granny-grinding hill in Birch Harbor soon brought us back to earth. Fortunately only two more short steep pitches before we arrived back at Schoodic Woods and The Truck! Our longest ride of the season, 11.14 miles, accomplished!
As of today we have biked 86.6 miles and hiked over 130 miles since May 15th!
Yellowrock & Roll! 
Good for you guys! I am so out of shape right now that I’m not sure what activities Greg and I will be able to engage in during this trip. To make matters worse, I fell a couple of weeks ago and cracked a couple of ribs. And right now I have a cold virus that includes a hacking cough, which does not go well with cracked ribs, let me tell you! Greg is considering not even bringing the bikes. Between his shoulder surgery and my cracked ribs, we’re not sure we’ll be able to ride. If I can get back to the point where I can comfortably walk 3 miles by the time we return home in September, I will consider it a win.
