That is how long we have been married as of today. It was a pretty uneventful day - we didn't have much planned except a bike ride. I was pretty happy that J let me sleep in the morning. I do love to sleep in on the weekends which is pretty much impossible with 2 little kids. Although we did get out on a longer ride on Friday, we still wanted to go for a tandem ride on our anniversary. Our tandem was a wedding gift and we spent our honeymoon riding it.
With the sleeping in, we ended up getting a pretty late start and it was pretty hot out, although since it isn't humid here, it wasn't as bad as 100 degrees may sound. We went on our usual route - although not the big climb because my legs were tired from the long ride plus I ran for Relay for Life on Saturday night. Too bad about 3 miles from home, the rear tire blew out. I don't know if we ran over something or what - we just heard a big pop/hiss and had to roll to a stop from about 18 mph. We did get to a patch of shade, but it was hot standing there while J was changing the tire. Then to make things worse - we had the wrong kind of tube to fix our flat. We tried to patch the old one up, but there we just too many holes. So had to resort to plan B and get someone to pick us up. We had been talking during our ride about getting a new tandem - so I guess that our old tandem didn't like that too much. So moral of the story - don't talk about getting a new ride while you are riding your old ride......
