May 3 brunch ride and birthday surprise
May 3^rd, 2014, 2:42pm

It worked! 8 riders (JohnS, JohnF, BobM, JayG, Lynn, Key, Terrie and me) climbed hills all the way to Rowlett (and back), and had a very nice breakfast... after eating, we convinced Terrie to test ride the Rambler trike, and when she pulled back in the driveway, totally surprised her by singing "Happy Birthday"... perhaps more importantly, she likes the trike!

A very nice day for a ride -- Thanks to all for joining in the fun, I'll post pics a little later on.

Pictures and videos of me riding the trike, playing "The Happy New Owner," are to be submitted for consideration at next year's Academy Awards. Thank you.
Pictures and videos taken by Jay of me quickly getting my bent bike legs on the X-Stream are to be burned. Thank you.
