Perfect Spring Ride(aka Hambone wads it up at high speed)
I got out with Hambone and N2bikeN for a great ride in perfect weather. We wanted to give N2 some good times to drive home on on Sunday. The sun was shining and it was in the low 70s. It was a awsome ride up till about a mile from the parking lot and Hambone decided to get off at speed........Do you think I grabbed the camera?....
We got in some drop training at a spot on a gravel road........
Hambone
N2 showing Iowa style...
A trip on the long lost airstrip......
The wilflowers are blooming.......
This don't look like Iowa........

I did think that the mouth to mouth you attempted was a little uncalled for. Just remember, no means no. I still can't get the taste of you 72 year old false teeth out of my mouth. Dang, my shoulder hurts.

Looks like riding with mtnbiker94 means make sure you know how to self-administer first aid and smile for the camera.

Well, yea, that does seem about right. It would be wrong not to document with pictures.

Thanks highrevs. It is all part of being in the TGMBC. I also thought it would be nice to give the old man a little excitment. It was near the end of the ride and he was getting kind of sleeply looking. I just never factored in the mouth to mouth that he tried to lay on me. It was a bit harsh.
