Had to share a little after posting a photo of Blu loaded up to go out and play this weekend. A friend asked if I'd bring her over to their property so she could try to learn to ride and of course I said sure. This was my first time taking one of my bikes to anyone's place to show them how to ride. I'm by no means a riding instructor, but I did like I learned, geared 'em up, then started with the basic skills, gradually adding a new step. My friend was nervous but she's a country girl and knows how to do stuff so she picked up each step. We didn't rush or go crazy, she was pretty nervous and at the end of the day, she's at a place where she wants to keep riding and learning which is success. No drops, no issues, she just took it easy learning. It was great. My other friend has experience riding but has been off for a bit after an off during some training several years back that kind of shook her. I'm proud of her for getting back on that horse, I think her curiosity got the best of her when she was watching us out there doing drills. She's still in her head a little, still nervous, but she admitted she had fun. I heard her laughing and squealing with excitement, I know she had fun.
I'm very proud Blu got the call, she did beautifully being a first bike for someone to get on. She played well and I think if Blu could talk, I think she would have sounded like the fun we had learning and goofing around the property; the laughter and joy I heard and saw got me a little emotional at one point as I was standing back under the shade of a mesquite tree watching them make the big loop and ride over bumps and ruts and have wiggles, the kinds that make you scared but the bust out in an adrenaline holler of joy. It was a beautiful thing that I'm glad came to be.
Anyway, no photographic evidence of it is gonna be posted, those are for us lol Besides, some people's momma's wouldn't be too happy
But that was my weekend, I thought you'd guys would understand.
