John followed me the whole way protecting me as I biked. Keeping me on the right when a car was coming, telling me when I needed to stop and tolerating my sudden stops, telling me “low gear is my friend”
Don and Sharon biked with us as well, they were also there protecting me and giving me encouragement. First day, Sharon said to me, “keep your eyes looking forward, don’t look down in front close by” I changed this a bit to: “look at Sharon’s Head” whenever I bike, she will be with me, because whoever is in front I will think, “look at Sharon’s head”
Don was our sweeper. He rode mostly with John at the back making sure everyone was well and checking on me when I missed a turn and landed in the dirt of a corn field. Whew, uninjured.
Poor John, he has a no falling rule for the family, so glad he is here with me when I tumbled. Nothing broken…just a scrape.
The world around me
