My friend Ruth finally got her new road bike so we for sure had to try it out first thing the next morning. We needed to start by 7:45 no later so her hubby could make his meetings. I rode the 4.5 miles from our house to our meeting spot. I got there EXACTLY on time. She wasn't there yet. Kristin rides up a minute later. Still no Ruth. Not super surprised cause she is not a morning person. 8 o'clock rolls around and there she is. FINALLY she shows up a little groggy and very loopy thanks to Benedryl! So off we go. It is so fun to finally have friends to ride with. I get a flat, my first flat on a ride EVER. But luckily Kristin is there who coincidentally was a bike mechanic before her full time job as Mom. So yes I did ask her to fix my flat because the last time I did it (which was also the first time) it took me a full hour. Seriously. Every time I called Kristin for directions she could not believe that I was still fixing my flat. Any how I tried to help as in pump the tube a little but it was hard y'all. I have zero upper body strength. But I tried to support and encourage her:) It rocked because all these men kept riding past offering help but we women did NOT need it. That's right who needs 'em? So K got it fixed lickity split and off we went. Oh but the best part which I forgot to mention is that none of us had our kids. Usually at least one of us has a kid or two in a trailer behind. So fun to not have any stopping, whining, or fighting: Congrats Ruth on your new bike! As for pics look below. #1 The Bike #2 Ruth and The Bike #3 Kristin trying to manually inflate the tube and me giving her the "thumbs up great job dude" #4 Totally me looking like K's slave driver....made me laugh and laugh cause I realized that was probably how I was really acting #5 K hard at work. She ROCKS! #6 Ruth just enjoin' the ride:)
