On Sunday we went on a bike ride and saw a really big bob cat. It was really cool. :)
What wasn't so cool is that Emilio's whole pedal fell off. I think that Jake called it the crank shaft. This is not just the pedal, but the whole arm also. It happened when we had gone quite a ways and had no way to make a repair.
Now think about it, how do you make the bike move without a pedal on one side? Luckily, Jake fits on Emilio's bike and he has shoes that lock in. So he locked in and did a push/pull type of thing all the way back to the car, and went just as fast as we usually do. It was quite impressive. So now we've got the get Emilio's new bike fixed. Poor Emilio was not very happy about the whole thing. And after having to wait three weeks to ride his new bike! What a let down. :(
But we had fun anyway, and next week we'll have to go on a longer ride.

That stinks. Who is Emilio?
Cool that you saw a bob cat...did it care about you, or did you just go the other direction?
Emilio is my very good friend who goes with us bike riding every weekend and does lots of other fun things with us and the gang.
The bob cat just trotted off into the shrubs. I tried to get a picture, but he disappeared too quickly.
I can just see Pam on her bike with her camera out trying to bump along and get pictures. : ) Too bad about Emilio's new bike. I would be quite upset.
