We are headed off to Palm Springs for the annual bike race.  They have a variety of different lengths, with the century ride (actually 107 miles) being the longest.  I am the type of girl who likes to check things off of my list, and I have chosen this weekend to check off my century ride.  I figure that the second time I was ever on a bike was to ride 50 miles -from Rosarito to Ensanada-, so after taking two rides down to Oceanside in the last month….I am ready for the big daddy! Some people might think I am crazy, but the second they do, I quickly divert the attention over to the really crazy one…the one and only……the girl who has only ridden a bike once in her life…..the girl who has even less coordination than I do….the girl who has her inhaler the second the word exercise exits her lips…..the girl who is also a “check it off your list” type……the girl who has been known to quote “I hate to exercise”……TRISTEN URE!  Don’t worry that we have an entire playlist ready to go, and she is taping it to her bike so we can both be riding to the same music!  Can anyone even imagine the classic scene we will be.  Originally Micah was going to “take it easy” and ride with me.  Interestingly enough, when Tristen joined the race, I have overheard him talking with his Dad and planning out their “race strategy”.  It’s all about making memories….right!  Stay tuned to read Tristen’s blog in about 4 days….it might be the funniest yet!
