Ride For Heros

I rode in my first bike race. It was 44 miles in Aledo. I wasn't going to ride because Sam is out of town, but Kris talked her husband into letting my kids sleep over and watching them while we rode in the race. I was really nervous at the beginning having so many bikes around me. (I don't have the best track record with balance.) After a few miles the road cleared out and we had a great time. Carrie waited for us at mile 38 so we could finish together.  One big surprise was the chilly weather for a Texas April morning.
