Today was our first day on the road and we traveled approximately 65 miles. Unfortunately my best friend and riding buddy is injured and we could only go about 8 mph for a good portion of the ride. For those of you unfamiliar with cycling, that is like selecting map by walking route on google maps rather than the freeway route- it's slow. So I had a lot of time to think today and wanted to share my thoughts:
1) My face makes a pretty good bug shield.
2) Even if Adrian thinks he's far enough ahead of me to do a snot rocket, the wind will close the gap.
3) The truck scales on the road round to the nearest 50 pounds, so I am always 8 pounds lighter.
4) 8 mph is barely enough to stay upright on my bike loaded with 50 pounds of gear (rounded down to the nearest 50 of course.)
5) The $19.97 fleece shirt I bought to replace the jacket I left at the airport, only cost $19.97 because Oregon doesn't have a sales tax.
6) People live at the wandering spirit rv park so they can be closer to the casino.
7) Hamburger helper doesn't taste any better now than it did when I was in college.
8) Bungee cords double as ace bandages.
9) On salmon highway, the best commerce deal advertised on homemade billboards is buy one get one adult dvds.
10) Adventures are best side by side with my husband-he always brings the fun.
