garface: Today started off like most days, I woke up at 6, had breakfast, changed into cycling clothes and got stuff together. But then it all changed. As planned, Hayley and her parents picked me up with a car full of mountain bikes. It’s important to note that I’ve never mountain biked before. We headed off to Crystal Cove, got everything set up, and pedaled off. I was completely out of my element and couldn’t even get clipped into the different pedal system. For basically the whole ride. I fell a bunch and Hayley fell a couple times just to make me feel better, and somehow I made it out alive after a few hours of over 100 degree heat and trying to figure how the heck to ride this thing. It was fun. In the sickest meaning of the word. But the best part was spending the time with her, sleeping on the car ride there, getting our legs dirty and scraped up, holding dirty hands to the bathroom post-ride, smelling awful together.
