Rode the tandem with Hope today with the Harpeth "Polar Bear Racing Team". Hope is a great stoker and makes for a fun outing with such a great engine on the back. Also thanks to Dirk for keeping us going through the winter. It was a cold, windy, sunny day and the club got to see me in tights for a full ride which I think is a first. Seemed like we had the wind in our face all day until the last leg up Leipers Creek back to the school. Happy to be on the tandem with the wind so bad since it does not seem to get blown around so much. The run in up Leipers Creek road with Larae and Frieda in tow was a blast with what felt like a 25 to 30 mph tailwind we were clipping along around 30 mph for a long time. The gusts were so strong that Freida had to back off because the wind was blowing her into us from behind. It was really weird going that fast and not hearing any wind in your ears and being able to talk to Hope without yelling.
Abby stayed with her friend Savanah and a friend of Shavanah while we got our ride it and she was in a great mood when we picked her up so she and the girls must have had a fun Saturday morning together.
