The RBR Rally was over the father’s day weekend. Gareth joined me for a ride along the 20 mile route - the same route that did him in last year.

This year, though, I came prepared. I packed water, food, medicine, diapers, a towel, sunblock, and an MP3 player. Bringing all the extra gear sure added to the weight, but we got through the ride without any major meltdowns.

We also cut it short by 5 miles, turning it into a 15 mile ride. At the 7-8 mile mark, the group stopped at a general store for a refresher. I took the opportunity to ask Gare if he wanted to continue on to our destination or turn around and head back to the car.

He chose the latter.

We had a nice solo ride all the way back to the car and managed to finish the ride without either of us hitting the wall. That’s a good ride in my book.
