McClave Update #3: Kentucky Morning Ride and Afternoon Kayak

No McClave outing is complete without a day with 2 or more outside activities in it.  On Friday last week, we enjoyed a 22 morning bike ride from Steve's cabin to a nearby marina for breakfast.  Steve and John Cox rode another 17 fast miles to get a car to retreive Katie and I, as we opted for the shorter distance in this very hilly KY terrain.  It was a beautiful morning ride that Katie set the pace for.  Our moving average was 13.5 MPH, which excludes two times we stopped at the top of longer hills for Katie to catch her breath (she's good on short hills, but due to asthma, she needs breaks on longer hills  Frankly, this is no big deal -- we stop, drink, and eat an energy gel). 

In the afternoon we went kayaking on the Green River, which runs through Mamouth Cave nat'l park nearby.  All in all, we had a ball!
