8/16- Rode 42 miles guided by Liam and his i phone. It was a steaming hot day, 95 degrees and what felt like 100% humidity. We started out with the intention of doing "only 30 miles or so, it's hot out so we don't want to be out forever", R. Sean's words. Not wanting to deal with the joggers and crowds on foot that is the Schuylkill bike path on a Saturday, we set out for West River Drive towards Montgomery county. We ended up, many hills later, riding through Upper and Lower Merion and landing finally, after many GPS checks, at the Conshy train station to ride the bike path back to the city. What started out as a good ride ended up a great one. The kind where you don't think you can go any more, but you are far away from home on your bike and you have to. So you ride it out, and when you get home you really feel you went somewhere. That is why I love to ride.
