bumpy roads with a slight panic

today was the day we decided to rent bikes and go biking ('we' meaning jenny and me). so, we rented mountain bikes (no, not full suspension, part suspension.) so we took off and had a little trouble finding the trails (which are all paved) and went off-road for a while. we finally found the paved trail and went on it for a little bit. however, we quickly bored of pavement and decided to off road to another path. well, about 20 minutes later, we weren't sure about where we were going. we were going downhill and found ourselves in a valley surrounded by mountains.

being surrounded by mountains is an awesome feeling... it's amazing, the enormity of the mountains just make you feel so small. it's an incredible feeling to see the scenary in every direction and not hear cars or see highways. it's almost overwhelming, but at the same time calming. i just love being in the mountains and away from all the concrete.

speaking of being away from concrete, we had begun to doubt our location and decided we should turn around. we didn't get lost, but there were a few doubts. the way back was all uphill, so we did get a workout. we finally reached home and then came to eat lunch at the tea shop.

so, i will post the pics... well, see ya'll later
