Riding Bikes

We participated in an organized bike ride called the FCTE (Flattest Century in the East) which left from the University of Massachusetts campus in Dartmouth and made a loop through Rhode Island before returning to the start. We rode the 52 mile course (there were options for 25, 52, 67, and 100 miles) and it was extremely scenic.

 Word to the wise however - if you haven't ridden a bike in over three months consider doing some shorter rides before tackling 50+ at one time! Even though there wasn't much elevation change our legs were starting to cramp with about 10 miles left and I'm not sure when we'll be able to walk, climb stairs, or sit down correctly again.

This picture is only included because we are riding bikes, to ride 50 miles we required road bikes, helmets, and bike shorts but of course we didn't get any pictures of that!
