Haha...that was certainly an interesting ride today. I was riding with a friend that will end up going with us on our couples ride in August to Cour d'Alane (I know I spelled that wrong!), Idaho. Right about at the rose gardens she has a flat. Back tire, of course, and she didn't have a spare, so we tried to patch it up. We couldn't find the leak, so it was a lost cause. She told me to go ahead and finish my ride and she would start walking the other way, then I'd pick her up with the van when I got done. Turns out she called her daughter to pick her up instead and I didn't check my phone messages, so I'm driving around thinking, "Surely she would have gotten this far by now!"

On a positive note...she and I used to ride at about the same speed. I guess I've gotten faster or something because it seems like I go reeeaaaaly slow when we ride together. But that's ok...feels good to be faster than someone for once!!

Oh, Darcy...did the scruffy border collie chase you today? He was just waiting in the bushes for me, but I yelled in a really low, loud voice and that stopped him in his tracks. He nipped my husband on the shoulder yesterday (he rides a recumbent trike...so he's at about dog level). Guess he looked like a weird sheep! I think I'll drive by that house and get the address so we can take some sort of action about the dog.
