On the Ranch

My boyfriend, Walter, and I rode around Lake Tahoe… at South Lake, about mile 40 or so, Walter’s vest spilled out of his back pocket, wrapped around his rear cog, and ripped the derailleur right off the stay, bent the rear drop out so that the frame is toast (we’ll check with manufacturer to make sure). After visiting a nearby bike shop and having them give the final death sentence to his bike, we walked to a nearby hotel to ask them to call a cab for us to take us back to the North Shore (about $100 cab ride!)… A woman was standing outside waiting for her car to come around and she spotted me and said, “I have those same shorts! I just bought them from Terry Bicycles!” I introduced myself and told her that I was the owner of the company and asked her where she is from: Connecticut! I felt so excited that little ol’ Dude Girl has made it from its tiny perch in Truckee to the roads of Connecticut. The couple loaded our bikes in their car and hauled us to the North Shore, where we bought them lunch – far better than that cab fare! Really sweet people and a fun, unexpected connection over our very own BIKE SHORTS and our wonderful partner Terry Bicycles! What a fun day after all. ‘cept now Walter needs a new bike. Nosotros hablamos Orbea.
