7/9/11 - L.A.T.E. Ride

So, I heard about this bike ride in the city a while ago and had always wanted to do it. I finally was able to convince Domingo to do this with me and that it would be a good, healthy thing for us that shouldn't be too bad. The L.A.T.E. ride is an after hours 25 miles bike ride in the city throughout the entire city. We thought the 25 miles was a lot, but all of the instruction assured us that no experience was necessary.....

Now, there are no after photos for a reason. I didn't want to finish. After 6 miles, I thought I was going to die. When we finally made it to the half point, I wanted to die even more. Domingo was SUCH a trooper and coached me all the way to the finish line. It took us 3 whole hours to finish the entire course and of course, I felt like crap. Domingo is beyond ready for next year, but I have decided we will get a little caddy that attaches to the back of the bike for me to lounge in while he pulls me the entire 25 miles!!

**Disclaimer** I apologize for the look on Domingo's face (hehe) - granted this race did start at 1:00am and that's waaaay past our usual bedtime!
