Janet Has a Dream

Janet has a bike, that she has had for about 5 years.  She so seldom rides takes such good care of her bike that the little rubber nubbies are still on the tires. It even has a water holder!  The beauty of Janet's bike - no lock necessary.  Who in their right mind would steal this thing?  It doesn't look like any bike we see out on our walks.

Last year, they held the first Tour de Victoria, organized largely by Ryder Hesjedal who is from Victoria and now rides in Tour de France, amongst other fancy pants bike races.  Janet and Phil went to Beach Drive and watched the tour go by and they were pretty excited. Soooo, now Janet has decided she is going to ride her bike in this year's tour.  Sounded like a good idea, but for some reason she thought there was a 10K component.  Wrong, sister!  50K is the shortest component. Oddly enough, she is still going to try for it!  I fear her dream will become our nightmare.

As you can see, Noodles isn't too worried about this bike ride business, but I sure am!  I am afraid people will laugh at her bike as it is kind of an old ladies bike.  In addition,  she doesn't have biking togs, never mind fancy ones, sunglasses or biking shoes  and she is going to be really unhappy if she can't finish the ride and has to suffer the humiliation of being picked up in the "broom" wagon.

Further proof of her inability to make a sensible decision - last nights supper of Chinese noodles, stir fry veggies and pork:

No, they weren't having 6 or 8 people in for dinner.  It was just the two of them!

On a happy note, we went to Uplands Park today.  We have to be on leash until 01 July, but look at how pretty the flowers we are.  We are thanking our lucky stars that Phil hasn't whipped out the "wife beater" shirt yet.  Janet hates those shirts!
