Biking...

...and walking uphill beside our bikes. Don't judge...it was steep and walking is exercise, too. It was about a 15 mile adventure with absolutely breathtaking views. The whole thing was hills. And we did bike up some of them.  

Part way through we parked our bikes and hiked to the top of this look out point. We did not expect it to be as steep as it was. We kept thinking we were at the top and then the path would curve again. However, it was totally worth it.

 

In action.

We received discounts at a series of businesses along the way. We stopped at Gilbert's, an artisanal brewery, for their beer and sandwiches. 

Just up the rode from Gilbert's was this view. Arguably the prettiest of the day.

The mountains just kept going.

We returned the bikes as the sun approached setting and I snapped one final photo for the day, before my camera battery died.
