Little Red Riding Hood Bike Ride

On June 7, 2008 I did the Little Red Riding Hood Bike Ride. I rode from Wellsville, Utah to Weston, Idaho. It was 80 miles, and one of the best things I have ever done! The craziest thing happened, I got a flat tire within the first 5 miles of the ride, which was so disappointing. Women kept riding by asking "Are you ok?" but never stopped, finally a woman stopped so I could borrow her pump. Your probably thinking who goes on an 80 bike ride without a pump? Well of course, I did. The weather was freezing cold, 45 degrees in the morning and the warmest it got was 60 degrees. It rained on us part of the time, I hadn't trained to ride in the wind or the rain. I went with my 2 friends Mandee and Melissa and we laughed the whole time. We are so excited to do it next year, I cannot wait!

Thats pretty awesome.

How come an 80 freaking mile bike ride has such a girly sounding name? Little red riding hood???!? It's 80 miles!

See you in a month or so.

Cortney mentioned your bike ride to me, and I'm impressed! We did a 50-mile ride back in boy scouts and i remember being completely dead after. Way to go!
