Century Ride

Each fall my dad and uncle go for a bike ride from sun up to sun down. They generally find areas that are very flat since they shoot for 105 miles in a day. This year my dad mapped out a trip that brought them within 3 blocks of our house! I get excited when anyone comes this way since it doesn't happen too often. We met up with them for a fraction of their ride and then went to lunch. We did have one potentially scary event- we were carrying our bikes down some stairs to get from the bike path to a local establishment and a stair collapsed! Yikes! Luckily my uncle had great balance and avoided a fall. The rest of the trip must have gone well- I got a text from my dad just after 9:00 and he had just gotten home. (They had to drive back to my hometown- over an hour from their starting point) He told me he got up at 4 AM to be ready for today.  That's a LONG day!
I was telling people about today's family event and they were shocked. I love my family and all their crazy ideas!
