    this is a place I have never been to. the water level is so low but if you see the lake at Las Vegas it is also very low. so proud of Mark jogged all that distance and still had enough energy to hold up the flag pole. Like I said I have never been there but now I can say I have, I was with Mark and Sue

      You would be amazed how a bottle of spring water can look like sweat if properly applied.

      I have to say Ernest, Sue is a master at saying she loves me as well as showing me. The second item is of course the most genuine. Don't know why I got so lucky, and I'm not going to ask any questions in case it was a mistake!

    Hi Mark and Sue! Very nice tour of that lake. I was wondering if Mark would and counsel make that run and prayed he did and he did. It’s beautiful there. The other side is more better more boat launching. Thank looked fun to do when you brought food to picnic with on your bikes. Too bad you drove later on and not road your bikes. Or was it too far of a bike ride? At least you both had fun. Thank you for this video.

    ....the guitar music was perfectly done and complimented your video at the end......nice. Is there a story for your Marrco's pet name, or am I reading too much into it? Seems to be a perfect name for a triathelete.

    • @OurJourneyInMyles
      @OurJourneyInMyles  3 года назад

      Hey Larry, this is Sue.... there is a story. Mark and I met through swing dancing. When we started dating we took another dance class that included latin dances like salsa, merengue, rumba, cha-cha, etc. When doing these dances during class, we were really sweating, even though it didn't seem like we were moving much compared to swing dance. So after a break we were back with the class... sweating again. I looked at Mark in a sassy way and said, "Oh Marco.... when I dance with you I get so... Hot!" We both broke out laughing and had the whole class' attention. And there it is... the story! Thanks for asking...😁

      Not sure,.........we have been nervous a few times on the bikes here in California, especially on the Pacific Ocean coast trails. So far, so good! We try to go slow when folks are around, and always try to be pedaling.

    The part where the camera fell over after your romantic lunch cracked both of us up. We watched it a couple of times. BTW, very interested in your e-bikes. I know you've done several videos about them but I'm still interested in how many miles you get out of a charge.

    • @OurJourneyInMyles
      @OurJourneyInMyles  3 года назад +1

      We can get an easy 60-70 miles. We only charge them every other, or every third time we use them. If we knew the area we were riding in, I would bet a person could ride it more like 4 or 5 times before you need to charge it. The batteries are special, GIANT ones at 21Ah.
