Sherri decided to try to ride her brand new Specialized Roubaix with me, so I rode my Moots YBB mtb. We left from Joshua Sorings Park, crossed the interstate, and cut across a caliche road to Waring Welfare Rd. We then took a left and ride all the way to Hein Rd. Sherri was doing fairly well, but was unfamiliar with the bike, and the climbing was just too much. I rode back and got the truck and picked her up. She’s a very sweet girl to do this with and for me!
