Ha! I can imagine.I should put a "do not try this at home" or a "we're professionals" disclaimer :lol:

We have a lot of experience with stupid stuff while riding. We once got our bikes tangled up and crashed during the TDF parade in front of thousands. That was awkward. Luckily I fell on top of Nova, so she cushioned the blow and I wasn't hurt. She was scraped up a little.

After watching your video it was neat to see the pace that you two kept. Seemed you were really rolling.

Where are you living that you've been able to keep out a McDonalds for so long? Every place I've ever lived at (besides Buies Creek, NC, but that doesn't count) has had a McDs. Even in Plymouth with under 4000 people.

There are many McDonalds around. There's one that's less than 5 miles from my house in the big city but this is the first one in our little town of 10,000.

"little town" and "10,000" don't belong together.

I forget how it's grown. It'll always be a little town to me.

One of today's rides... Spotted this cow walking down the main street in front of our house. I grabbed the camera and hopped on a bike and took off after him. Along with it's owner, the police and me on my bike we herded him back the couple blocks to my house and corralled him in my yard. Tried unsuccessfully to lasso him. He eventually knocked over one of the top rails of my fence and hopped over. I gave up after that.

I was just informed he left a little something on our sidewalk that I had to go clean up. I'd forgot at one point he got up on the porch.
