Well I had a new experience yesterday, one that I certainly didn't expect but certainly made me blush. I got my first cat call …
The girl that cuts my hair and does my eyebrows for me is a sweet friend of my daughters. She has bent over backwards to make me comfortable and help me out and I adore her. This year her and her husband decided to have a baby and low and behold she is with child. Unfortunately right now due to personal reasons she is unable to cut my hair and I'm in need to a new hairdresser for the task.
My friend Cynthia was meeting with her girl yesterday to get her nails done so Diane and I decided to take advantage of the great 74 degree weather and take our bikes up to meet her. It was an awesome fall day for a ride and it took us approximately 10 miles up the back roads. At the end of RT128 in Londonderry NH is a stop sign and that merges into RT 28a. It's at this point where traffic was a bit more busy and we were trying to focus on pulling out left onto 28.
As we were sitting there waiting for our move a construction truck passed us in the same direction we were about to go and as he did a loud whistle came from inside the cab of the truck. PfffftPheeeeuw. As usual I turned my usual shades of red and chuckled as Diane laughed at me over it. At that point it was just another experience to take in and enjoy. I turned left onto 28 and took a big lead in front of Diane's bike. Coming around the next bend in the left lane waiting to turn left was, you guessed it "Said trucker"
As my bike flew by the cab of the truck I heard something preceded by the trucks air horns going off. As Diane flew by they blasted again … I have to say that I am finally getting a little more used to this happening now and as we are riding I am noticing more and more men turning to get a glance of the 2 girls on their Harleys. I just had to laugh though ..
After meeting with Cyns girl I have an appointment on Tuesday evening and she assures me that she can help me get me hair to a point that I wont need to tie it back on the bike anymore. (We'll soon see) I hate having to tie it back
I'm looking forward to it…

I have to admit, my favorite cat call moment was two summers ago. Ellie and I were heading down to the beach and she was driving for a change. So I did something I'd never done before and wasn't even sure I'd manage. I took my sandals off, and stuck my feet and legs out the window and rested my heels on the rear view mirror.
We hadn't gone but half a mile when we stopped at a traffic light. We were turning and a convertible full of cute boys pulled up next to us. Whistles and "Hey baby want to walk those pretty legs over to my car?"
Needless to say I turned bright red!
I have to say, all the years of biking paid off, I've got a great set of legs. Not because I say so, but I've heard it enough from so many people that I couldn't believe they were all insane...
