  |  My first parade
So I participated in my very first parade ride today. My daughter rode with me so she could wave to everyone. It wasn't a long ride at all, maybe 2 miles at the most but I made it about half way and had to call it quits. My hand and arm cramped up so bad, I killed the bike twice. It was a constant stop and go and I pushed in Neutral as much as I could but, of course, couldn't do that going uphill and that's when the throttle/clutch play really got to me. I felt bad having to leave the group like that because not as many bikes as was wanted participated but too much was at stake had I tried to continue on the rest of the way. So here I sit at home now, typing one-handed, icy hot glopped all over my left forearm, and knowing that tomorrow, I'm really going to be hurting. Must find that 800mg Motrin...where did I put it.... Aloha, Kehau |
