A little bit of R&R after a couple of days of riding. I took Grandma Athena to the mall to walk around for a while hoping to relax the legs. She's not quite used to riding up hills so she did tire. She was getting hot, breathing hard and her legs were hurting eventhough the mall was well airconditioned and cool! She refused a trip to the womens shoes store so she must have been ready to go!:p

Hills this weekend

Walking with Grandma in the mall. I was getting hot and panting too, but for other reasons.:innocent: So like the other story, I hugged her and took her home!:thumb:...Poor camphone quality

Relaxing? You must be kidding. Shopping with a woman is seriously hard work. I can ride 8 hours in the heat but an hour of frilly dresses and "does this make me look fat" and I'll be ready to waterboard myself.

+1 here.. The wife has the endurance of an Olympic marathon runner when it comes to shopping. After about 3 hours, I'm trying to figure out how I can hide or die without her noticing..


Mall walking, albeit an "old person" gig, is kind of fun (with the accompanying eye-candy).

It looks like the old adage is true: Behind every beautiful woman is a beautiful behind! :beer:

It was just a stroll so only had to worry about the cell-cam and the behind!:D

But sometimes she will ask me to hold the purse while she tries something on. Then people look at me kinda funny!:roflmao2:
