Ride for Heart and BBQ #1
Ride for Heart. A great event where we get to shut down to major highways, screw up city traffic and ride on the road wo fear of getting squished by cars. Me, K and Rick decided to give it a shot. Now me and Rick had been training for a little bit beforehand, about ~3wks. K, I don’t think so much tho he and the missus were gettin out and riding closer to the event. Twas a good day for riding 50 kms. We all had signed up for the early 7:15 am start time but r was late coming to my house and by the time we got down there it was 7:45, so we missed our start time. Then i decided to drop the bikes on their back tires as I was takin the bikes off the rack and that bounced the chains off the gears, geez what a dumbass I am! They also told me as they were taking a look at my bike that my bottom bracket was loose tho they didn’t have the tools to fix it there, so I figure I’ll take it to Skiis & Biikes after to get it looked at. Although the forecast did call for rain, it only spat for a minute or two on the way back. Everyone was glad they got out and did it but they were sure beat. I caught them napping on the way back in the car =)
After I get home I rush to sobeys and buy everything I need. Most importantly, I got the half-pounders. I don’t like to waste food but i’m proud to say that everyone finished their burger, altho some only had the patty like a steak. Oh well, to each his/her own. It was a good thing I setup up my eating ‘tent’ but unfortunately, it poured like a bitch and I had to bbq in the rain a little. J also brought a cake over since it was s’ bday coming up so we little a candle and did a little bday thing for him. Too bad some ppl had to leave early and were left outta the bday celebrations.
