last group ride...

last group ride of the season?

when i got my bike on 7/11/08 i fell in love. it was like a new born coming out of the womb. she treated me well throughout the summer time that i have had her.  we have gone through the tough times and the most amazing times. from great weather to bad weather. from group riding to just riding alone. from riding alone to someone actually riding on the back.

i know what youre thinking, who is this cutey pie? that dog is lola ;) and the person holding lola was my riding partner throughout the summer whenever she had time for it. thats ann

i never really rode anyone on the back of the bike besides my brother for the 1st time just to see how it felt. so i rode to my friend ann's place and i met her friend jessica who loves bikes. so she asks to ride on the back and i go of course. i was kind of nervous because it was my real 1st time riding someone on the back, but it wasnt that much harder. but my friend ann HATED the bike and said that she would never ride one ever! jessica convinced her and the rest was history.  my brother had a bike as well so we would go on awesome group rides, me and ann on one bike and jason and jessica on the other.  late night rides to downtown chicago land area to just riding around evanston or anywhere in chicago. we even got to get fondue late night! but long story short we loved riding and we had some awesome riding partners.

today is probably the last day of riding with the group... its very sad to see this go, until spring hits. we traveled all over chicago, we even got to see the rally that Obama had in grant park! shit was bonkers, hella lights and hundreds of people. i wish i could have taken a picture but i was riding my beautiful R6. im going to miss my bike for the winter, i just hope theres no snow and its 70 degrees out when december hits.
