Today's ride felt good! (bonus: No knee pain!) 31 miles of trail riding with Sam. Then rolling hills and long climbs. Loved the 6 mile descent with 9% grade. And also loved the fact that we all ended up safely at the bottom. Big dump trucks on the roads today and they do not tend to slow down. As cyclists, we must be careful as these vehicles can create a gust of wind that can easily blow us around or off the road if we are not careful.

At mile 55, we visited the United 93 Memorial. Although it is currently under construction, it is a moving memorial. I felt as if visiting this memorial made 9/11 take on a more personal meaning. I realized the gravity of these attacks on America and the courage of the crew and passengers onboard United 93.
