My daughter fought through her anxiety today to put in about 7.75 miles with her aunt and I this morning. We stopped for 10-15 minutes at the halfway point to let her get herself collected and centered before we headed back. The cold, clammy skin was back, but she wasn't as ice cold as she was last week. Only one near disaster as she hit her brakes too hard when coming down an incline to some pedestrians with more pedestrians and a couple of cyclists coming the other way. She lost her balance and the rear tire just came off the ground, like the bike was a bucking bronc. She got her feet on the ground and was moving, albeit not very quickly, to one side. The oncoming cyclists didn't bother to ask if she was okay or not, just sniped at her to move her bike out of the way because the back tire was less than half over the line into their lane and she wasn't moving quickly enough. I understand wanting her to move, but geez, they had room. Why not give a person a break, especially if you don't know their skill level? Sorry for the rant. I get a bit defensive because I know what my daughter is dealing with just to get out there at all.

Dumb me, I forgot to stop my activity tracker when we drove home, so it added another 10 miles or so to the distance we rode, and gave me a great time! Hahahaha!
