5.17.14: For the second year, my husband and I did the Tour de Madison bike ride in Madison County, Virginia. The ride traverses the rolling country roads along the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, providing several views of the ridgeline nearby. I opted for the 45-mile route, while my husband took on the metric century ride. These pictures capture views along the course, providing a distraction from the leg-burning hills along the way!
