life is short enjoy the ride
Had to use that title as it is one I often say and realized yesterday we hadn't been practicing enough lately. We were diligently slaving away on Saturday while the first nice day in months was dancing outside the shop window. One of our customers rides in and basically says "what the heck are you two doing" He was totally correct. We pumped up the tires, grabbed the helmets and followed him out the door. We decided to take part of the MUP along the river that is both pave and dirt for a fun meander. After about ten miles we found ourselves at a nice tap room - hmmm imagine that. Had a couple beers and a light snack and then headed off again, as we point ourselves back in the direction of home the bike hermit points out that it is only a few miles farther to our favorite brewery. Well twist my arm, waved at our house as we rode past and enjoyed a very nice meal and another beer, of course. We both commented on two things we are thankful for - friends who refuse to let us use work as an excuse and generator lights so we never have to worry about getting caught in the dark. Woke up to rain today, making me even more grateful that we got out.
