Today Bob and I rode a leisurely 20+ miles. We are a mere 10 days out from the Tahoe ride and we are now in "take it easy" mode. The ride, however, didn't start too easily when Bob popped a rear wheel spoke before we ever got to the first stop sign one long block away. We rolled back to my house, swapped out his pedals to my old bike, and off we went.
It was kind of weird riding next to my old bike, but it was nice that we were able to make the switch and still ride. This approach allowed us to justify our post-ride trip to the KFC. I really like the grilled chicken (which I had), but the Extra Crispy is still better. As I watched Bob work over the Extra Crispy I felt twinges of buyer remorse. I think next time the healthy grilled chicken will be replaced by its artery clogging cousin, Extra Crispy.
Well, tomorrow I am off to Best Buddies for my Boston charitable ride. I am really looking forward to the ride and seeing my friend, Robin, who I have not seen in almost 10 years! Wow, time sure does fly. It will be great to catch up. Hopefully, the shipping costs for the bike will not be too high since the box meets the standard size requirements of United.
Well, that is enough of my blathering on since I still have to pack and shower for tomorrow's morning non-stop to Boston. I can't wait to touch down and beg to be taken to Legal Seafoods. I just hope they are open once I have all my stuff.
Today's photo is Bob and I pre-ride (and prior to Bob's broken spoke).
