The Biking Adventure In The Woods
Jane rode her bike down the backside of the hill knowing that she was having a great time. She would wait for John to catch up with her before she continued because the hills only got steeper. John started cresting the hill and coasted to a stop next to her and took a long drag off of his water bottle.
They decided that they would take the mongoose mountain bike down the hill first to see how it handled the steepness. Once they reached the bottom then they would take off towards the lake that was shimmering in the distance. They knew that would make a great relaxing stop for them to enjoy the relaxing ride they were on.
John decided that he would bike ahead a little bit because he thought that he saw a road up ahead. That would definitely make the biking a little bit easier and would stop jarring all the picnic food around. He just hoped that he would find a road before it was to late.
Jane spotted the road to and knew that the diamondback bikes would be doing much better for them, but he had insisted on these. However, she knew that the ones she had would have the better suspension to handle the stresses of the landscape they had just been riding over.
They were closing in quickly on the picnic area and then they could enjoy the food they had brought with them. That was going to be a good thing John decided because his stomach was already grumbling wanting more food than what he had this morning.
Jane was packing up the lunch that they had brought with them when John decided that it was time to give her the gift. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a brand new paid of pearl izumi shorts. They were the ones that she had been eyeing on the store for at least the last six months if not longer, but John finally decided to get them for her.
Jane turned back to the set up they had on the ground and seen the new item laying there. She knew exactly what it was and quickly changed into them before anyone could see her changing. She knew that it was going to be a great thing because they were so comfortable on her.
