A week or so prior to the Toone Family Reunion, Bree mentioned that she would be biking a lot up in the mountains of Idaho. Me, being the avid walk along side while my friends rode their bikes sort of gal for all of my formative years, assured her that this would be fine and I would busy myself with other items…probably like reading or something crazy like that. Upon further discussion it was decided that the dirt road outside the cabin was the perfect spot for an adult beginner. There was plenty of space and very few people who actually would know me. So Bree went to some place that refurbishes old bikes and bought me this butte!
That’s right a classic purple beach comber. Yes, you are seeing right it does have mountain bike tires not comber tires (is that what you would call them?) I like to call it an upgrade. Bree had to struggle a bit to get it on the rack for the transport to the cabin but it all worked out. No I have been on a bike before, I just have never REALLY rode one more that about 2 times in my life when other people have tried to teach me. This time through with a little help from Bree, a few other of the Toone company, and of course my trusty KEENS, I was in business.
I went up and down that dirt rode a few times. Bree was sooo jealous of my fancy bike (all she had was her pricey mountain bike) that she wanted to try it out. Wouldn’t you know in two pedals she had broken my chain…adventure ended…But not be fore my trusty KEENS gave me the power to dominate on that bike!
Thanks KEENS!
First of all, I was never jealous of your bike and I'm in love with my own bike. :) Secondly, I do adore your purple cruiser and I feel so bad about the chain! But lets be honest... I didn't break it. It broke itself and I just happened to be riding it. Either way, we will get it fixed up SOON and you'll be riding your bike to work in no time! So proud of you. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry it's taken me so long to comment friend! Looks like you've been having lots of fun adventures without me:( J/k...it looks like you and Bree have a lot of fun. Can't wait to keep reading more about your adventures. Love ya lady!
ReplyDeleteI just realized that I haven't peeked at your blog in a while, and I never commented on these posts! I'm sorry. Every blogger loves comments! That was (is?) a great looking bike! Did you ever get it fixed? I'm impressed that you'd try something new and scary. :) Glad the Keens gave you the oomph you needed to go out of your comfort zone. That was such a fun week!!! Now with winter coming, does this mean you won't be having Keen adventures for a while? Or do you have some Keen boots as well? If not, you may just have to get yourself some, so the adventures/blog can continue!! Love ya! :)
ReplyDeleteCass! I am commenting also! As I start my quest to be a better blogger, I hope you join me! Just get a good pair of wool socks and you can Keen it up in the winter!
ReplyDeleteCassity I didn't know you had a blog! And why have you not posted since the CABIN!? :) Like we're ones to talk...we go months without posting. But so fun that you have a blog!
