Ride Report

[fatbottomedgurl]

Well we're back in the 100's so too blasted hot unless it's early. Started a ride yesterday at 8:00 and .5 mile into the ride snapped my 22 tooth gear in the cassette. (Don't ask me how, I was going downhill ). The guys teased me about my powerful legs. I was able to continue riding but after a few miles told my friends it was too hot and I was too distracted knowing that if I shifted up too much I was going to hit that hole. Ordered a new cassette and chain when I got home.

I hate bridges, there I said it...I HATE BRIDGES, in my car, on my bike...hate them..... Good for you for getting across.

I did just shy of 20 yesterday with the speedy guys, DH included. We had post Ernesto blow down syndrome. It was like cyclocross in the woods. Anyway those boys kicked my butt as ususal.

Funny story,
I was struggling to get Bob(my 31.5 pound all mountain bike) over a nasty, tangled blowdown and a guy came trail running in the other direction. He had already passed 3 of the guys I was riding with. He made some silly flirty remarks and as I was fighting the branches he leaned in to help me across.

I looked at him right in the eye and said, Do Not Help Me....if you help me, those guys will not let me ride with them any more, they will think I am a girl.

I was cracking up and he looked at me like I was a nut. When I caught up with the boys, they thought it was a riot....

Silly men.....
