This past weekend saw the commencement of the RBR Recumbent Bike and Trike Rally.  Gareth and I attended on Saturday for what we originally planned as a 10 mile ride in Spring Mills.  The route was five miles out and five miles back.

But when we got to the fork in the route that was the decision point between the 10 mile ride and the 20 mile ride, I decided to go for 20 miles.

Gareth enjoyed it right up until, oh, mile 11.  After that, he got angry and very vocal about his displeasure.

When we finally got back to our car after the two hour trip, Gareth’s face busted out into a huge grin as I started to unbuckle him from the recumbent seat.  He was thrilled to finally be off the bike and back in the car.

He then told me that the ride was just way too long and that, as a result, it wasn’t any fun.  Days later, he now says it was fun, but I can’t be sure that he isn’t just saying that to make me feel better.

Next time, we’ll take the shorter route.
