Mishap

Saturday, Dave, Ry and Michael (Price) went on an intense 70 mile bike ride with two pro riders and some other tough cookies. The ride was tough in it self but throw the riders they went with on top of it. Bridge and I went for a ride too, but not nearly as intense. We rode to and waited for the boys at the Price's. The boys were about dead when they got back. We sat and chatted a bit and let them sit and catch a breath for a second. We finally decided to pack up the cars with the bikes and head home. As we were pulling up to the house, Dave commented with a happy sigh that it was great to have our roof fixed. We pulled right on into the garage at about 3 or 4 miles per hour...and then we heard a loud crushing noise and felt skidding. It was a horrible sound  and feeling. Dave just dropped his head and I screeched, covered my mouth with my hands and had my eyes wide open in shock. Yes, our bikes were on top and I wanted Dave to take the first look. I was sure they were  mangled and crushed. I finally got out after seeing Dave not react to badly. The bike frames seemed to be fine but I looked up and saw a hole in our house. We figured that my seat, which was slightly ripped, had punctured the hole in the house. My bike came away with a ripped seat and a couple of scratches. Dave's seat was a little bent but nothing else seemed to be wrong. Dave's car and bike rack took the most beating. His car now has some dents, scratches and the rain gutter took a beating as the rack ripped from it. The rack is a bit twisted but can be easily adjusted and we don't feel too bad about it because we bought it off KSL for cheap. We feel pretty lucky because our bikes are worth more than the car and rack put together.  Dave was wide awake after the fact! Moral of the story, don't let Dave drive after one of those rides unless the passenger is fully aware of their surroundings! Now I get to chuckle each time I pull up to our house and feel relief that it wasn't more than that.
