It was a great long time in the saddle yesterday. I played hookie from work yesterday and Lisa and I went for a Zero ave ride. We went the same way we did last weekend but we did make it to the yellow barn which was just the next exit. It was a little windy along the ride but with all the directional changes it was fine.
Along zero ave we had a bit of an adventure. We were riding along and I wanted to take an action picture of Lisa. So I pulled into the middle of the road to get a good shot. There wasn't any vehicles heading our way and I didn't hear the truck come up beside us. He honked, I moved over, he yelled at us saying we should get our asses to the side of the road. I replyed with and oh, ok then. He drove off all mad, Lisa started waving, and then we got given the finger by a man who was atleast 50. Very mature I say. It was funny though.
We made it out to the yellow barn and had a little snack and got some cold drinks. It was actually really hot out for the ride and I forgot to put sunscreen on...oops..sunburn. Lisa now has cycling lines aswell. Guess we have to work on the tan lines already! The ride back was uneventful, hills felt alot better then last weekend, thank goodness. We actually came back up where the boarder crossing is. It is more of a long gradual climb, but that way we got a nice downhill on the way back.
Ride time was about 5:08 for 115km... a little slow but nice to be in the saddle that long.
Thanks Lisa.
De nada mi amiga! It was good fun! For the record...your slow is my race pace. :-)
