Birthday Ride

July 19, 2009
Fort Collins, CO

Crash Bars for The Ride Happy Birthday Tim!

We rolled out of the drive about 9 am after doing birthday stuff, opening cards and letters and gifts and taking calls. The plan was to ride to Johnson's Corner for a birthday breakfast.

Tim loved this card from the folks. It said: Son-In-Law Medal of Valor... For exceptional judgment in choosing a wife and for uncommon patience and bravery in the face of your in-laws! And... it came with some cold, hard cash.

Tim - Bday card from the folks

Well, ride we did, but not before neighbor LeAnn wished Tim a happy birthday and sang a couple of bars from I can't drive 55! while doing a little jig on the sidewalk. After the brief serenade, we rode off to Johnson's Corner for breakfast. While we were inside enjoying our eggs, clouds rolled in. We looked at the clouds, looked at each other, shrugged and said so what. Daring Mother nature to rain on Tim's birthday ride - we took the long way home anyway.. riding through Berthoud, around Carter Lake and the no-name lake at Loveland (one of these days I'll look it up) and to Masonville, over the dam, stopped at Vern's for afternoon coffee and finally made it home just as the skies started spitting. Tim had a couple of hours rest, with the leg propped up before joining our friends, the Browns for Mexican Food and Margaritas at Tortilla Marissas.
