A bike ride with the EAOD ladies. Always a good time with lots of stories, laughing, smiling and always an adventure. Trish, Bonnie, Mandi, Sheila, and Michelle. We started at Silver Mountain!
We just got started and pop Sheila's bike tire went flat. I think Trish fell over as an act of sympathy for Sheila. So nice but not necessary Trish. Of course we all yelled, "Welcome to the club!" "You are an official biker now that you fell." We sort of forgot to ask her if she was OK because we were so excited that she joined the club. As you can see she is OK!
The flat tire fix. Sheila is good at it because she gets flats more than anyone.
I am sure our supervision of the tire fix was appreciated. We were good at it. It is a one person job so we just looked on and hoped for the best. We were on our way in a flash. Sheila is a pro!
We did stop at the bike shop for another tube. No riding without a back up. Sheila did not have to use the backup!
OK, now we are really on our way for the 24 mile ride.
Beautiful scenery! God's handiwork for us to enjoy. Thanks!
And there they go!
I took most of these pictures while I was riding. Love my new camera!
Getting to warm! Time to shed a layer.
Tradition to take a picture under this overpass.
Aren't they beautiful!!! Good friends are precious for sure! And appreciated!
Our bikes are resting! They go faster after they rest you know.
Off we go again!
We made it too Wallace. Mandi and Sheila did a few more miles!
Not sure what is happening here.
While Sheila and Mandi did a few more miles we visited the Center of the Universe in Wallace, ID. Don't believe me?
It says it right here! The Center of the Universe. It must be true. You have to watch out for cars when you stand on the Center of the Universe. It is in the middle of the street. Cars you know.
We headed to lunch at our favorite lunch spot in Wallace. We were hoping to see Ian again before his move to Boston but he was hanging out with family on a walk. I was disappointed I didn't get to see him one more time but we talked on the phone and I was able to say good bye for now. What a nice, kind, young man. Glad we can say in touch!
This is Ian's father taking our order. He even let us put our bikes in the restaurant. Nice!
Really yummy food here! I ate way too much. No dinner for me!
We had a relaxing lunch! Pretty sure the lemonade was the best I have ever had.
Time to head back to Silver Mountain. Sheila took off while we were still gearing up. She rode slow so we could catch up! What's the rush? :)
Yes, we are in Wallace, Idaho and there are 4 wheelers all over on the streets.
Another tradition! Right before the end of the trail for us! Pictures on whatever this thing is! We did it last year and this year so it is now a tradition!
What a great time with great friends. They make me smile! We support each other, laugh with each other and sometimes cry with each other. There could not be a better support crew! Love you all! Truly I do and I am so thankful for all of you! My cup runneth over!
