The Morning Ride

Back home in Menlo Park, both Doug and I go out on "Morning Rides" with our riding groups, so we've been looking for that perfect sized ride that can be done first thing in the morning before work. We've been following the Swiss bike routes, and making up some of our own.  Yesterday I took my camera out with me to share what we see on a typical ride.

Our favorite regional route

The route starts to look like this 3 miles from our house

Farms, barns and fields

We go through several forests along the way 

And small villages

Sunflower fields - with self-service stands

Finishing the ride with a descent into our neighborhood
