Cycling with Mom
A few days before Mother’s Day I got a great idea on how to spoil her. This amounted to accompanying her on a bicycle tour in the nearby foothills. If she was in real estate, this would be her preferred way to show off these neighborhoods and get a bit of hill climbing done in the process. She obviously prefers to weave in and out of the neighborhoods to taking the last of the country roads off into the sunset.
Nonetheless, riding with Mom and her hubs was really a nice change in pace. While she flew down the hills at lightening speed, I took the descents at a timidly cautious speed. Note: The roads were WET! I made up for lost ground on the hills though. Challenging Mom’s hubs to a duel, we took on the hills and then circled back to bring Mom in.
After checking out the hillside homes, we made our way to the local Starbucks before the final few miles. We were just rolling out again when we discovered Mom’s flat tire. Lucky for Mom, her hubs was happy to come to her rescue. And I, being the paparazzi that I am, caught the whole thing on camera. Enjoy!

Life is a journey and, for me, running is a huge part of it. Just like a great run, it has easy and tough parts. It is beautiful at times and ugly at others. Hopefully, I will reach the finish feeling good about what I have accomplished and leave a long trail of bread crumbs to show, those that wish to know, where I have been.
Sounds like a wonderful day. Great pic!
