Day 25- Gadsden, AL to Guntersville, AL

The temp and winds this morning were brutal. It was hard to convince myself to get on the bike. My husband's aunt lives in Huntsville, where I was riding too and offered to pick me up.

I couldn't resist that offer, so I offered to meet her half-way, getting in about 40 miles. The hills were so slow, fighting the wind all the way.

We took the next day to go to the Botanical Gardens, Butterfly Pavillion and Monte Sano Park.

Who knew Alabama was so hilly.

Nice to see these billboards. Anyone can still donate

As I type, I'm debating on whether or not to ride on tomorrow with Hurricane Sandy brewing. There's a wind advisory.
