A Best Birthday One Could Wish For . . .

It happens every year, like it or not -- one’s birthday. This last weekend I witnessed a very positive birthday experience. Not Mtn-Biking Man’s but MTBmistress’s (Jeff H). There were a couple of elements that made it most positive and a standout:

  1. Jeff's significant other was extremely supportive and encouraging to go “have a nice ride.”

  2. Jeff was riding in his new self-selected ¾ highly waterproof pants and . . . it rained during part of the ride.

  3. Jeff was wearing the “right gear” (¾ pants)!

  4. Jeff conquered, non-stop, a very steep 1¾ hour ride up to “triple towers” (due West from Summit Lake and across from the ORV park). We’re talking about "front-wheel-popping, sit-on-the-front-seat-edge, leg-pounding" of a ride.

  5. It was a great abuse of a ride for the legs! (Could only walk around at the summit.)

  6. Great coffee at Blue Huron Bakery after the ride.

  7. Wife of Mtn-Biking Man feels sympathy for Jeff's such tough ride and bakes him special oatmeal choc chip cookies.

    Happy birthday Jeff H!
