HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there. Hope you're having a good day.

So, yesterday was my big 13-mile bike ride. huff-huff-huff! I DID IT! It was awesome! I still can't believe I did all that in a little less that 2 hours! It felt more like I rode 100-miles! LOL
I really saw some neat places in Charlotte on my little trek. Some cool old neighborhoods with beautiful homes over in the Plaza/Midwood area (I think that's the name of that area).
I started off being the leader of the "Back of the Pack" and didn't take too long to be bringing up the rear! LOL It was about 4 or 5 miles in and I was trailing at the back.
But not bad for my first "real" bike ride!
At one point towards the end of the ride, there was a van pulling a trailer that went around me just a LITTLE TOO CLOSE! I could feel the heat from the vehicle on my ear! That's why I won't be riding the streets by myself anytime soon!
I have to say that I am looking forward to my big bike ride in September down at Myrtle Beach! I was told that there are rest stops about every 6 to 8 miles for that one, where as this one yesterday I had to ride a whole 10 miles before we had a rest stop!
I was going to try and take pics yesterday, but my camera wouldn't fit in my bag (my camel back pack). I need just a little digital camera to take with me for stuff like that.
Well, getting ready to head to my aunts for lunch. Gotta stop and pick up some chicken.
Later...
