Free Air Tires

It was a chilly one today, but I set out on another bike adventure, not knowing where I would feel like going or how long I would feel like riding. I forgot to check my air pressure before leaving the house and did not get too far before I really started to feel like my back tire was low. Luckily, there's a Tienda de Llantas Usadas (used tire place) on every street corner in Graham and my EspaƱol  is decent enough to ask for air boost. This one place has a sign that Rick and I always make fun of because it says "Free Air Tires".  The tres amigos that worked at the place I stopped were more than happy assist me (maybe too happy?). Everything seemed fine after that.  Anywho, I ended up going a new way around the perimeter of our town (and crossed a bridge that goes over I40/85- trippy!). I rode by my mom's house but she was out. At Kohl's. Shocker. From her house to home was downhill at first, but turned into total torture when I got on Hwy54/Harden St and had to ride uphill forever. I pushed through it though, and was so happy when I saw the Greenway Park sign for my neighborhood. I almost collapsed in the driveway, and would have had no qualms about doing so, but the mailman was on our street and I did not want him to find me laying there and freak out. I laid on the porch with my dog instead. It was then that I finally decided to whip out the ole phone and see how I did. I was so freaking excited when I saw 9.63 miles (634 calories!) on my screen.

You do not even know.

Today's Ride

 Oh and guess what I found Old Navy?!

A BICYCLE SCARF! (which I wore on my ride)
