Why in the world was I riding one of my mom's bikes, and not my own? That's a great question. At the present moment, my bike needs new tires. I have gotten at least one puncture flat on every ride I've been on in the last few months. Given how horrible I am at changing tubes, this equates into 45 minutes standing on the side of the road trying to change a tube, not look pathetic, and not get hit by cars. Not to mention that at $5 a pop, tubes aren't cheap... and should last longer than 1-2 bike rides. So instead of spending the $80-100 it would take to get new tires, I decided to drive the 35 minutes to my parents' house to use this cutie. Besides that, my bike is pretty basic. Getting to use my mom's bike is like the difference between driving a beater, and driving a nice car; sometimes you need that extra indulgence.
And then I came home from the best ride ever, and made a fantastic recovery drink:
What was the best workout you've had lately? Do you nerd out on gear like I do? I am such a gear junkie! Have a great day, guys and gals!
that drink looks so good! my best bike ride ever was this past Sunday. 2 miles in the morning and 4 miles that night. (which is probably nothing to most people, but a huge accomplishment for me! lol)
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteA post about a bike.
Girl, I haven't been on a bike since I was like 4. I would probably fall over and die and be dead.
But way to go.
Delish looking drink! So glad you had a wonderful bike ride! =) I can't wait to get my bike up here with us - we had to leave it behind in SC. We ran out of room in the horse trailer on the first trip, and I miss it!
ReplyDeleteI, for one, actually enjoy the totally '80s paint job!
ReplyDeleteI WANT THAT BIKE.
ReplyDeleteAnd that drink.
ummm...hello delicious! And I'm just impressed that you can ride a bike. I fall a little short in that area
ReplyDeleteThat drink looks and sounds amazing!
