Of course I’m tired. I’m worn out. And quite satisfied.
After 80 miles and over 7 hours on the bicycle, my backside is a bit sore, but my spirits are incredibly high. I pretty much always feel that way after a long ride. Especially one on which I see so many interesting things.
I’ve written over the past few days about the history I was going to explore today. You can go back just a couple of days to catch up on that. The only problem with today was that the places we visited all required an entry fee — and of course that was just going to take too much time. We were shooting to get back by 2PM after a 6AM start (and we pretty much hit that time on the nose), so not a lot of dawdling was built into the schedule. But we did visit the forts I was looking for, and I got to run through the events of that June 150 years ago.
Not the best day for pictures, but I got a few. Here they are, along with the video.
