back in the days...

I just wanted to take a trip down memory lane. This picture was taken back in 2001, a few months before I graduated from college with my BSN. There was a park somewhat close to my house that had an *excellent* bike path. It had hills, dips, twists, turns, trees, a stream, a meadow and was very rarely visited, which made for less "oops! look out! don't hit me!-s" probably because it was usually so bloody hot there in Texas. This particular day, my friend Scarlet, and I had decided to go out even though it had just rained, heavily, the day prior. We were covered in mud by the end of the day, and it was just simply a blast! My father just sent me this same bike, which is my absolute favorite! Good times. Good times.
