Music to our Ears (and Legs)

Today we left the Syracuse area to head to the Rochester area. We left at about 9 in the morning, but maybe we should have left even earlier. As the day wore on, the asphalt started radiating all that heat, and Austin and I both getting flats didn't really help. However, we did get to see a couple of things - one time a deer ran across a nearby field, keeping pace with our bikes until it reached some woods - and Nick strapped the speaker to the roof, so we had a sound system behind us.

We've been talking about doing this for awhile now. When our bikes aren't on top of the car, we have a couple spare bungees, so Nick was able to secure the little PA speaker we take with us for events to the bike rack, and between a power converter and an audio cable, it worked out pretty well. Finally, we got to listen to some music as we rode. It was a lot of fun, and the construction crews we passed gave us some thumbs up as we passed, so I guess they liked it, too.
