Family Mellmann

Katherine is forever trying to hide from the camera. When is she going to figure that she can't hide from the shutterbug?!

We stopped in Hancock Vermont for a little lunch. Bikers were everywhere, but most of the riders were either single riders or double adults. Katherine was, without a doubt, the youngest rider we saw all day. After lunch, before we hit the road, Joerg spent a few minutes reviewing the map to chart our route back to the world of cell phone service...I mean the route back home.

Our first rest stop at a scenic overlook. We kept trying to get Katherine to hold still for a picture, but this is the best we could do.

It's the first weekend day that we have had both good weather (warm and sunny) and little to no wind. That means we are going for a day-long ride through the Green Mountains!  Everybody is now officially equipped with properly fitting gear; helmets, coats of armor, gloves, and boots.  We have rain gear, too, but it won't be needed today.
