Guitar+Bike=?

Riding a bike while holding a guitar? Not such a good idea.

Little Red Riding Hood Race...A little late? Oops.

I was looking at my moms blog, at her pictures of the little red race, and realized I hadn't ever posted about it...Oops. So here ya go! 

Me and my Mom

Right before the lunch stop, I was dead tired. 

I rode 70 miles with my friend Hailey and my Mom.

The ride was up in Logan and there was a bunch of food stops on the way along with a lunch stop around 57 miles out. This years theme was Bollywood and they had a bunch of cool food, decorations, dancers, music, etc. 

Breakfast before the ride. 

We drove up in our motor home and stayed in the rv park next to the starting line. It took us about 3 or 4 hours total including all of the stops and lunch. Keeping us going we had Gu, shotblox, gatorade, and lots and lots of fruit and peanut butter Oreos. About half way through the ride I got really tired and my back was hurting and I was ready to be done. We were going through a neighborhood at the time and this little girl came out of her house and ran for a minute with me cheering me on, and it kept me going thinking about the little girl. I also used my moms ipod strapped to my arm keeping me going. The beat of the music I tried to match with the speed i was pedaling. About 30 miles to the end I got my second wind and just in time. There was a series of hills that i had to go and I started going mega fast. I went up one of the hills at about 15 mph and going down at somewhere around 45 mph. I was on a road bike so i was really scared I would hit a rock and go flying but I didnt slow down and just kept riding. All in all it was a lot of fun.Especially because i got to shower after the ride thanks riding up in the motor home. The next day, which I was supposed to be really sore, I felt great because my mom had been giving us after legs the whole way. It keeps you from getting stiff and sore after a big ride. They were fantastic. Im pretty sure im going to ride it again next year with my mom and i got a super awesome jersey from this year I can wear. I can't wait for next year!

We also saw some of the ladies from my neighborhood!
