See all of the pictures from our trip here. This was a first for both Jamie and I. We usually do these sort of trips with 2-4 other riders. We enjoy being with friends and the hanging out after a long day of riding, telling stories and just enjoying the comradrie of the group. This trip was different as it was just her and I for the most part.

We did most of the trip solo, just as a couple. There were many positives on this trip because it was just us. It was nice to go at our own pace. In a group setting the stops are more orchestrated. It was nice to stop and smell the roses, take pictures when you wanted. It was nice. We also enjoyed ending the day as a couple. Discussing plans for the next day, figuring out where we would ride to. I am usually a very stick to the plan kinda guy and this trip allowed for me to be a little more flexible. It was refreshing. We visited places and took longer stops. it was very nice.

With that being said, I will never stop doing the group ride thing. I love being around my friends and enjoying great rides with good friends. I will continue to do the group rides but will also plan on doing more solo trips with Jamie.

I hope you enjoy this ride report.
