After years of procrastination I finally got Sherry on a bike ride for the first time since she broke her arm in a fall. I was surprised that her bike tubes held air and all I had to do was wash the dust off her frame and clean and lube the chain.
I didn't chose a good day for the ride because the Pacific Air Show was taking place off Huntington Beach. I've been caught by this event before and it sucks because there's like 20,000 idiots standing on the bike trail looking at the airplanes and completely oblivious to the fact they're blocking a throughway.
Sherry's crowd tolerance and bike handling skills were tested beyond her ability so we headed up to PCH where she was a lot more comfortable.
We got to the Bistro St Germain with no further issues and enjoyed their Croque Monsieur.
On the way back we took Atlanta to avoid the crowds and Sherry started to complain about her backside. Apparently she had not worn undershorts, for some reason, so - lesson learned.
Total ride distance was 27 miles at an average speed of 11 mph. I hope we can do this again soon.
