first falls, first flat

Last weekend we had a team training ride to homer lake. We played chicken on the roof at Homer Lake. It was a great ride besides the way back against strong headwinds. We were all starving and thirsty when we returned to campus so a group of us went to Joe’s for half of burgers. They were so delicious! Then it was time for the portraits project showing at IMC. My parents showed up for this. I really appreciate their support and everyone else’s it was a great turnout. Since then we have gone on a couple of rides. The highlight from the ride Tuesday morning was Sean tumbling into the ditch and being thrown from his bike. Oh and Kelsey’s cues that got us lost. Then there was thursday’s ride almost back from our country ride I got a flat. We started walking back and a miracle happened. We ran into Tracy, who did the ride in 2010, she showed us how to change a flat. Tomorrow we have our second team ride!
