Wonderful Sunday

So anyways on Sunday I decided to take the family for a ride. Everyone get in the car and things are well. We show up to the park. Things are well. I offer my full suspension bike to the wife se declines and takes the single speed. Things are well. Now mind you she has ridden this bike before but not off road. So its off to the woods we go. Things are well. Climbed the first hill. Things are well. Enter the first single track. OOOOOPPPPPPSSS things are no longer well. It seems that there was a reality check for my loving wife once she had to pedal up a hill in the woods. So she walks. I make her get back on the bike after again offering my bike. She still declines. Then she tells me the trees are out to get her or something like that. Once back on I follow here to yell words of help. Like ride you brakes you are fine what not. So we come to the next hill mind you the whole time I have ye to shift my bike because I wanted to be on the singlespeed instead. I climb the hill. She walks. Our son laughs at her and says I made mom! When she dose reach the top she looks like she was ready to die. All she wants to do is sit on the ground. At this point I say you are done with the one gear wonder give her the carbon rocket shift it to a easy gear for her and tell her we are riding. So off we go. Things are still not fine. She stills tells me those trees are out to get her. We hit the next set of single track called plinko for these of you who have ridden at this park. What do you now she wasn't kidding those trees got her. Right at the bottom of the hill. Mind you I'm on the singespeed laughing my a$$ off as she says I told you the didn't like me. So I got her back on the bike and we ride up a new reroute and then I fall flat on my face. I told Bob we needed to get rid of that STUMP in the turn but no. She laughs at me. I took her and the kid out to the rest of the single track things are again well until she finds a grape vine to land on. That was more funny than the trees. SO WE FINISHED THE SINGLE TRACK LOOP and headed for the bike path. This all went well. On the way back the rode the path to the car and I cut through the park. I got to the car and all was well. Now I think I have thought the wife a lesson. Ride the one gear wonder and die. That's My bike. Build your own.
