Major props to my awesome husband

In STL once a month they have what is called a moonlight ride. Basically die hard bike riders (road bikes) get together on the full moon and ride starting at about 10 PM. Now, let me preface and say my hubby isn't in the best of shape. He has a very nice MOUNTAIN BIKE, not road bike and trust me, they are very different as you can imagine.
Our neighbor invited him and he decided to try it. Word was there is less riding and more drinking....not this night! Boy was Brian in for it. They rode from Dog-town to downtown...about 20 miles in FRIGID temps. on the major roads and bad areas. My poor honey wanted to give up numerous times but good ol' Jim was an awesome coach and pushed him like he has never been pushed! I think he set out for a good time and ended up I believe a changed man! In almost 17 years I have NEVER seen Brian like that when he walked thru the door at 4AM. I am SO proud of you Brian! I could not have done what you did and this story will go down in the books for the boys! Congrats to you babe, that was no small task! Brian has some shots that he took I will DL later if I have time.
