crazy ride life & 10km Race Report

~~~~~~~~~~

Can I actually call a Race Beautiful?

It was.

In the dark- 

an almost full moon over head, city lights in the distance, with about 1000 head lamps bobbing through a beautiful treed trail overlooking a peaceful reservoir of water.

My son and I toed  the line together, and then I shot off.

(I thought like a rocket;)

Turns he was only seconds behind me- 20 to be exact!

(Picture 1: How he warms up)

(Picture 2: before I beat him;)

(Picture3: 2nd place medal)

We both set records in this 10k.

I beat my time by 3 minutes, and he set his first time ever for a 10k as he has never done this before!

(Like I said~if he trained...)

So for all of you who had no faith I could beat him....I did.

And 20 seconds ahead of the 16 year old is pretty good for "late 30's" mother;))

(Or so I like to think...)

~~~~~~

 now....
I'm off to the great U.S.of A. with my daughter for a few days.

(She wants to shop. I may sit on a bench and...People Watch.)

:)




Wherever this crazy ride of life may be taking you...have a wonderful week!

Sweet 70's ride....

So a wonderful neighbor lent me this bike for a couple months.....

A Peugeot Race Bike, (made in France).


Check out the metal fenders.....

 Lights- front and back-  that actually come on with the energy you generate while pedaling!

An attached tire pump:

Metal rack for carry-ons....

And a leather seat....leather!

They sure don't make them like they used to:)
