Ride with Vinny Bear

After a morning of sleeping in, followed by a cleaning sesson with Mr. Francis we decided to go on a ride. Great day for Vince, he just got the bike together yesterday and he was really excited about getting it on the road. So around 3 we hit the road. Weather wasn't horrible, partly cloudy, but there was this wind thing that just wouldn't go away the entire ride. 
We were planning on heading over to a friends house, and yet again I found myself riding up Walnut. It is a little harder keeping Vince's 20 mph pace, but I think a did a pretty good job. I really do not have the power of him and so when he would pull away a little going up the small slopes it was hard for me to recover, but I managed. I also got to enjoy some of the routes that the Moo Moo's take today. Walnut is on a route, along with Jay's Hill, the Cow hill, we talked about doing the rollers but honestly they scare me to death. Has nothing to do with the climbing, pain like that I can handle, but the cars that come flying down that road isn't often thinking about the bikers they will encounter. Safer just to take those few other hills where there is a whole lot less traffic.
Nothing too outstanding from the ride today, expect for the quality time that I get to spend with Vince :). I only yelled at him one time too! :) 17 miles 16 mph average Feeling Great.... Can't wait until this weekend!! Until next time.
