Just got done with my first ride up in the Berkshires and it is no joke. Today was supposed to be an "easy" ride but turned in a shift at Kenny Rogers Roasters. My legs are toast from all the hills.
A group of eight people set out from Sheffield to ride into the hills and end up at the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge for lunch. We got lost no less than five times, partly because Dr. Ed had to stay in Sheffield to be on call for a patient and Christy wasn't unconfident about the route. Stockbridge, on a straight shot is 14 miles from Sheffield. It took us 35 miles to get there. Granted, we were intending to take an indirect route but we ended up about 10-15 miles off course. Each time we asked Christy how far away we were, he responded "about 5-6 miles". I bantered back "we should have been there three times already".
I want to write more but my eyes are fading a bit. It's really beautiful up here.
