Morning Ride

Mark and I live about a block away from the Provo River bike/walking trail. We have on previous occasions walked up and down the section around our house, but we decided that this morning we would bike. So this morning we saddled up and headed off toward Provo Canyon. Bridal Veil Falls was our goal but we really didn't know what the distances involved were. We were thinking around 13 miles round trip. It was a beautiful morning. It was cool but just right after we started moving.The drive up the canyon was just that...up. But it wasn't as steep as we were expecting. We still thought we had about 1.2-1 mile left and then suddenly we were there.
We rested our legs and seats by climbing up to the waterfall.
The ride home took much less time and felt much easier. The downhill helped. We were still exhausted when we got home. Turns out it was more like 19-20 miles round trip.
