Boats & Bikes

Yup, I said bikes, as in plural.

Take a look.

Despite scorching temps on this legal holiday, I got Sandy out on her bike for the first time in a long time. I cleaned up her Bianchi, cleaned and lubed the chain and away we went in 90-degree sunshine. Pretty proud of her too. She went 7.4 miles with me, and we just went real slow, stopping twice, once at a bench in the shade and once on a swing where we took in the boats portion.

It's nice to be able to ride a little bit with her.

It is certainly different from the usual fare of me alone on the bike, suffering through some kind of visit to the hurt locker for whatever reason.

But today was all about just taking in the view and enjoying ride.

Plus, now that her bike is road-ready we left it in the garage where it is available to get back out there once again once it cools down a bit. The feels-like temp today was 95 degrees....that's taxing on anyone.
