Bad Bike Day


I Am Stubborn

Yesterday I tried to get a long ride in on my mountain bike and thanks to a cactus thorn, it was not meant to be. Early into my ride and about 15 miles from home, my back tire had a thorn and was spraying out air and the "Slime" sealant at the same time.

I was not able to patch the tire and had to walk home. Rene had to deal with my "Minotaur" side until I repaired my bike. It didn't help matters that I also discovered that I had broken spokes in the back tire also! By 12PM was finally able to get on the trail and enjoy the solitude and ability to swear like a sailor because I was four hours late with my ride!

Rene realized that Florida was playing Tennessee and found the game to "calm" me down, it worked. Seeing Tennessee lose to Florida again was worth it. I do enjoy Tennessee's head coach, Phil Fulmer fuming after losing to Florida. To be fair, I enjoy that look on any opponent's head coach after losing to the Gators!

Hi, soooo sorry about your bike....but that's the way some things happen. (I always said that exercise is dangerous).

What does the hospital schedule say. (last treatment coming up!!!!)

Love, E
