Monday To The Beach With Tod

-
It was only about 12 miles on Monday, but it was so much fun to take this ride with Tod. We tried to make it a nice easy ride and it was for the most part. But then boys will be competitive and on the way back we dug in and worked it through a section of the bike trail before Adams. We hit over 30 MPG on that little stretch which is ridiculously fast on a level piece of ground.

Today, I left much later then I expected due to a team meeting conference call I had to be on for work, so as I was getting home around 7pm, the sun was just getting low on the horizon and had that orange, redish glow that I would not normally see in the early afternoon. The wind is usually a little more sustained and the tides are a lot higher at this time of day. Today is Tuesday and the street fair on Main street in Huntington was just kicking up with lots of people arriving to check out the activities for the night. There may have been a few less people visiting the beach tonight since it was a bit more windy and a little cooler then last night.
