Last Saturday Clark & I spent the day cheering on his sisters who rode in the little red riding hood women's only bike ride. His sister Natalie is on the left and his sister Kim is on the right. They rode the 64 mile ride that starts in Wellsville and you ride a big loop around parts of Cache Valley. I guess a lot of ladies will dress up in costumes so Kim decided she wanted to dress up! She went as Mother Nature and we put a cute little watering can with flowers on her bike and she put some flowers on her helmet, and then she had a dragonfly on the back. Her bike looked so cute, everyone kept saying how cute it was! They have a contest for the best costume, but she didn't win even though she should have. I didn't really see anyone else decorate their bike like she did.
This picture was taken in Trenton
So Natalie had her gall bladder out just 2 weeks before the ride, so she was crazy to ride in it anyway! So after about 40 miles she wasn't feeling too hot, but decided to keep riding. Well as she started to ride a bee stung her right between her eyes on her forehead!! She was a little disoriented trying to get the bee off her face and she started to go off the road. Luckily she didn't crash but we decided it was a sign that she should stop riding! So Clark decided he was going to ride her bike with Kim for a little bit. So even though it was a women's only race Clark didn't care and he jumped on the bike and rode for about 16 miles. Then by that time Natalie had recovered from her bee sting and was ready to ride the rest of the way. This wasn't really a race, so we didn't feel to bad that Clark rode part of it for her. But I guess a lot of ladies kept yelling at Clark as they rode past him saying "Those are some hairy legs for a girl" or "No boys allowed". He wasn't feeling the love from the ladies! But Kim was glad she had someone to ride with, even if he did have hairy legs!
While we were waiting for his sisters to ride by we took some pictures of the scenery. It was a cloudy day, but it never rained. It was actually a really pretty ride, because everything is still pretty green. It was fun to drive our car and stop at all the pit stops and cheer them on!
Clark likes to play around in photo shop so he changed the picture around and got this! I think it looks pretty cool

We ae glad the story had a happy ending. Our generic phone that we picked up last week has way more features tha we know what to do with - all we need to know is how to answer and make calls but we aren't there yet.
Nice job Clark! If you need help shaving your legs, Uncle Bob or Tom can assist.
Way to go Natalie & Kim for riding the 64 miles! I am way impressed! (and way to go Clark for stepping in on the 16 miles!)
