Last night was my first Tuesday night shop ride of the season. Luckily my friend Rebecca Falls was on the ride and a new gal to town Missy. Unfortunately due to available light, we had to go up and over Everett Road. Yuck. Huge hill at around mile 15 that totally broke up the group. Rebecca and I were just a bit behind Missy going up the hill and got over and almost caught up with her and another guy when Rebecca flatted. It was fine though, we had a good time riding in together. It was fun riding with the "A" group up until Everett too. They go so fast and it is always such a smooth ride. It is my favorite road ride to do. I always like getting back to the parking lot to hear all the smack talk afterwards. It is usually always SUPER HARD and FAST. I am looking forward to more daylight so we don't have to shorten our normal 42 mile course and go up Everett.
Anywho, my dad is cleaning out his house as he remodels a bit and while I was over there Monday just happened upon a very nice antique bench. My dad and Joyce (my stepmom) soon realized that they really did not need the bench to collect crap on at the bottom of their stairs, so they gave it to us. It is a beauty. There is a stamp on it that may date it to 1893. I am going to have to see what my dad says. It came from an old train station I think. Anyway, he matches all the other antiques in our pool room (the pool table @ 1920 and the France poster @ 1910). THANKS DAD! WE LOVE YOU!!!!! It fits perfectly!!!
