Pet's

This morning the Boy and I headed to Pet's down in Kenosha to ride with the Goat. It was a nice small group of Goat, Donny, Jerry, Lori, Chris, The Boy and myself. The Goat was leading the ride and The Boy was putting the pressure on him for most of the ride. The Goat was trying to ride over all these narly roots , drops, climbs and log roll overs and The Boy was matching him. The rest of us had to put our feet down or walk up many areas but not the Goat and The Boy, they made it up most of the more difficult areas. Poor Chris decided to drop his chain right before a bridge and then he proceeded to plant his chest right into a root. He was a trooper and was ready to hang it up and go home but he toughed it out and rode with us for most of the ride. Donny tried and miss judged a few log rollers and laid it down so thanks for the show Donny. Lori was riding good but she did chicken out a few times, but maybe she will try a few more when she watches The Boy show her up a few more times.

I got a flat and had to walk back to the car thinking that I didn't have my 3/4 inch wrench to take the nut off my rear wheel. I got to the car and was thinking what the hell am I going to do. I opened the trunk and checked the bag and I didn't have it. I looked under the bag to see if anything would magically appear and I noticed that I had my 4 star wheel lug nut remover for the car tires and I checked and one of the lug removers fit the nut perfect. I got the flat changed and called Donny's phone and they came back and got me to finish the ride. I'm glad that I was able to fix the flat as the riding was awesome and I would have hated to miss it. In all the ride was awesome and I will definitely make it back for another ride. Thanks Goat for the great ride.

Got home and washed the bikes as they did get a little dirty and I didn't want to get yelled at for always bringing dirty bikes in to the basement. I also washed Cece's bike as it was still dirty from the Thursday ride. I did find a derailleur hanger at Ben's and was able to have my spare bike back together again after taking the hanger off it to get Cece's back together after The boy broke it. I ordered 4 extra ones as I will put one in the seat bags and carry a few in the tool bag also. I love the single speed as I don't have to worry about any of that crap.

Tomorrow The Boy and I are going to the bmx races so I have to get a few things done. Later..
