I remember riding from Denver, Colorado to the Illinois State Line in the rain. What a ride! We didn't have any rain gear, but we had to get home. Crossing the wet, slippery Mississippi River bridge was a real trip. I wanted to walk, but was told to be quite and sit still. Now the bike sits in the basement....last trip for hubby was to Canada. I stayed home with the young ones. At this age, quilting is definitely my idea of fun. Loved it way back when.....Hugs
