This past Sunday, July 20, I went biking with Hernando and two other guys from 3ABN, Ralph S. and Tim L. It was a really nice biking trail, which started in Harrisburg. This is one of those old railroad beds that has been converted into a bike trail. The first portion was paved, but after that it was mostly limestone, which is not too bad to ride on.

We went 30 miles roundtrip, with the turn-around point being the small town of Carrier Mills. Further on down, this same path crosses the famous Trail of Tears, but we did not go that far.

It got quite hot. Fortunately we started early. Still, by the time we finished, the temperature on a bank sign said 103 degrees! I lost a lot of fluid, even though I was drinking like crazy. I was still re-hydrating on into the evening. I also got a bit sunburned…. I have to remember to use sunscreen!
