Life and Lemons -- WE NEED VODKA!

After a particularly ridiculous few weeks, Dani and I decided to venture out onto the High Trestle Trail for a 25-mile bike ride!   Brilliant plan.   Sadly by the time we got our pedals fixed and tires inflated, it was pretty late.   No problem.  We decided to run to Target and grab some lights for our bikes and then ride the trail from Ankeny 10 miles and then back to her house.

Well, Target didn't have any lights like we wanted.  And we forgot our water bottles, so bought a new one.    Except we couldn't get the bottle attached to her bike and the light didn't come with batteries.   We substituted glow sticks.





We drove around for a while until we could find the trail, got our bikes out, and ventured into the dark.   It was REALLY dark.

We made it .75 miles and then I saw some lights coming down the trail.  After screaming, "OMG!   Professional bikers are coming; let's get out of here before they see us," we zipped back to the car giggling.

At least we had fun.   We'll try again in the morning .... or maybe in two weeks.

Beer and Naked and Afraid on Discovery channel in our biking gear is just as adventurous; right?
