In Constant Flux

This morning bright and early we got up to go for a ride. Aimee hasn't been on a bike since she "had a bad experience" when she was 14. I'm super proud of her though. Last night she and I rode about seven miles and today the group did eleven. So 18 miles in less than 24 hours. Nice job Beaner!
There were some funny things of course. Aimee's bike was way too big so she couldn't touch the ground. Thomas (on the very left of the picture) stopped without taking his foot out of the clip and fell right over. I almost did the same thing and almost took Aimee down with me but luckily I got my foot out just in the nick of time.
After the eleven miles, Jory, Steve and I felt like we could do a bit more. We took off up around the new daybreak temple. We had a couple of good climbs and an awesome downhill. A mini-van with a poodle in the front seat almost turned right into us. Steve lost his hex wrenches out of his saddle bad and they survived after being run over several times. But after all was said and done the three of us did almost 23 miles today.

It was a great morning.

So now, for at least a moment, I am on the top of Jess's list. Take that.
