Cassandra: (Weekend of June 16th) Mom and I had big ambitions this weekend. Since I was going to be up in Bellingham for Father’s Day, we decided to get up early and ride 50 miles on Saturday. But, Friday night we were up late drinking wine in the pergola. We made our first concession, that we would get up whenever we were done sleeping instead of setting an alarm. On Saturday morning, the concessions continued. When we woke up, we had breakfast and then decided it made more sense to get our errands done in the morning and then ride later on our trainers. I had brought mine up with my new bike. Our most important errand was getting our almost-identical black and white bike jerseys customized with our names on the front and ‘Mother,’ and ‘Daughter’ on the back. It took a lot longer than we thought it was, but it was a fun process. We got to pick out the fonts and the sizes of the letters. In the end, we got exactly what we were looking for: cool sporty-looking souvenir jerseys. It took a lot of laughs on our part, lots of looking through text catalogs, and a lot of patience from the t-shirt man, but we were happy. We finally did get to ride on our trainers that afternoon, but it was a short ride. Mom did 5 miles and I did 6. It seemed like my bike computer was indeed off, but we’ll have to investigate it better when we are riding on the road together.
