Sunday Ride

I have the cutest neighbor, Cyrus, who works at a law firm with my friend Jeff. Sunday afternoon, Cyrus texted to see if I wanted to take a bike ride.

Well, hmm...I was supposed to be cleaning my place...but please reference the "Cleaning Lady" post below. I mean, it was Mother's Day, and I couldn't spend it with my mama. Do you think she would want me inside cleaning or outside enjoying the day (with a handsome attorney?!)? Decision made.

Cyrus had rented bikes before, but he'd never gone all the way to the G.W. Bridge...

Halfway home, we stopped and got some chicharrones from one of the Latin vendors in Morningside Park. Yum! Apparently that's Spanish for fried pork belly. They served it with plantains.

Unfortunately, the chicharrones seemed to pull down our pedal power on the way home. We joked a bit about chicharrones being the anti-Wheaties...until we realized we were riding INTO the wind. Holy crap. It was hard!! Thank goodness we both love biking. If I'd been with my sister, she would have killed me!
