Let me preface this by saying that my husband, as I'm sure most of your other significants, is a faster rider than I am. Well, to be expected, I suppose, since he has several more years of riding experience than I do, but I always feel like I'm playing "catch up" with him. Faster in the woods, faster in the MX track, etc. etc. So he is the current "bar" to which I compare myself. Of course, just when I think I'm getting close in a certain area, he raises the bar. :silly:
Well, we had Monday off, because a friend of ours was in town visiting. Decided to go play on our property across the street. Dave on his KTM 250, me on my 200, and our friend Kurt was riding our quad. Dave and I took a lap thru the woods putting up new arrows, and then took Kurt through on the quad, showing him how to maneuver through the woods. I was leading, and then stopped out at the edge of the field to wait for the other two. Kurt comes out, and then Dave comes out and rolls right up next to me. "Time for a cool-off run!" he says, and hunches over his handlebars in a MX-start position with that look on his face that says, "Wanna race??!"
Well, of course! I started my bike and snicked it into first gear, looked over at Dave, and revved the bike up to show I was game. He revs his bike, and I watch his front tire to see when he starts. I see him move out, and the race is on! I'm behind him just slightly, but I wind out first gear and scream into second, and see myself moving past Dave! I pulled into 3rd gear and kept going, about 100 yards to the first corner of the grass track. I was so stoked that I had beat him down the straight that I let off the gas too soon and gave him the first corner. :)
He fully admitted it later, too. "I got you sooo bad!" I said. "Yes, you did! That was a heck of a start you pulled!" says he. "Yep, I'm going to savor that one for a loongg time!" :yeehaw:
He repaid me later with a roosting.
It was a silly little thing, just out playriding for the day, but it was nice to be the one to raise the bar just a little bit...
Do you ladies do the same thing with your husbands/boyfriends, even just for fun??
