Ridin', Ridin', Ridin'

Inspired by the biking babes (below) Gail and I decided to get on our bikes and RIDE!  I washed the slug tracks off my bike seat and set off for her house at high noon, and she and Russ started some minor adjustments on her wheels and seat while I was on the way. They were just wondering if they should call when I pushed my bike up to her yard and collapsed on the grass.  We have some STEEP hills in our neighborhood and I couldn't get my bike up one of them and wore myself out trying.  Russ put air in both my tires and raised the seat WAY up then did what seemed like a complete overhaul on Gail's bike while I teetered up and down the driveway trying to keep out of the sun.  We rode.  The distance is not worth mentioning!  The improvements helped a lot but I still had to get off and push my bike up a couple hills.  My bike makes a crunching noise (I thought it was my joints, so it's really good news) and switches gears at random.  Gail's seat collapsed to the lowest setting but that didn't seem to slow her down.  Gail looked AWESOME!  Next time I will wear sunglasses because they made her look so cool.
