This is something Rob and I have been talking about doing since I moved out to Phoenix about two years ago. We were a little slow at actually following through. It turns out, bikes are more expensive than I ever imagined. (Probably because my experience with Huffys was pretty inexpensive!) We saved up money for a good little bit...sold a lot of old things we needed to get rid of on Craigslist, saved birthday money (thanks to Rob's Grandma and Aunt Lori), rolled coins, and my Grandparents even chipped in when my Grandma sent me an article from the Plain Dealer about pumpkin :) Thank you!
Rob bought a mountain bike and I bought a hybrid bike, because I don't think I'll do much more than a little biking on the canal trails (which are just dusty dirt). We also played things safe...Rob had a helmet, I bought a new one, he bought a blinking light for early morning rides before the sun is up (...I don't wake up that early!) and I found some new padded spandex for comfy bike rides.
We took them out for a bike ride around the development this morning. I loved it!
Here's a few pictures of us and our bikes :)
We are taking them up to Sedona next weekend, where it's a whole lot hillier! I'm hoping my legs are up for it! :)
Tomorrow marks the first day of my seriously crazy Homecoming week at school. We are having a Powder Puff football game after school and I am helping coach. The kids decided to give all the money we make at the game to Komen, which I think is awesome and makes me feel super good about coaching :) Then there's a cross-country meet I am timing on Wednesday and a whole lot of other Homecoming festivities. I'll keep you all posted on the helicopter land events!
Hope all is well with everyone. We are trying to pawn off some of our heat on everyone in Cleveland with actual fall temperatures this weekend. I know Rob is jealous of them...and believe it or not I am too. (Though it was fun riding my bike in the sunshine before it got crazy hot this morning!) Miss and love you all, Rob and Sarah
