Santa Barbara fun!

8/13/2012

I was disappointed to find out that the new motel we stayed at last night didn't have a bike in their "gym." The good news was that we would still have time in Santa Barbara to track down a rental bike--something I've never done before. I was so lucky that I had my five leaders also interested in joining the fun.

We found bikes!
Jasmin from Austria, Walther from Germany, May from Hong Kong, and Edu from Spain joined Emily, our local leader, and myself on a Surry adventure. We got a four-person bike and a two-person bike and rode off for an hour up and down the beautiful Santa Barbara coast.

We picked up a couple of students along the way and made them pedal.

Biking is always more fun with friends and this was the best! I was surprised at how difficult it was to pedal and we could really tell when someone wasn't pulling their weight. However, when everyone was pedaling together, we could really get trucking. It was great fun to be able to sit side by side and carry a conversation. I had great visions of rolling around the neighborhood, picking up people and running errands along the way. Luckily, the Mundo actually covers most of those chores. 

The amount of traffic on the beach pathway made it hard to ride freely but we all had had plenty of riding after an hour. At $11 per person (and we could have kept it an extra hour, if we had wanted) it was totally worth it--an hour of laughing hysterically, touring the gorgeous coast, and working up an appetite.

After working together nonstop for the last 19 days, this was the perfect way to end our perfect program. Tomorrow, our students depart--Spain at 4am and Hong Kong at 10pm, the others in between. One final crazy day and I'll be free until next year, ready to start again. I can't wait to do some more family rides and begin our weekly group rides, but I'm truly going to miss these guys! It's been fantastic and I'm so happy to have been able to share my love of bikes with some of my new favorite people.

Livin' for the weekend!
