Ode to My UH Jersey

My UH jersey has a big ole wicked looking cougar on it! On March 15, I got to wear it with my friend Willow who is a UH alum. I love wearing this jersey when I’m riding with Willow because she and I are the only two on Team Dunk who have them. Willow rode on Saturday with the rest of Team Dunk while I stayed home with a sick old dog. Then, she valiantly rode along with me on Sunday as well! What a great friend!

Willow is a terrific riding buddy. She has this great strategy of “choosing to believe” the finish line is closer than it actually is. Since she chooses to believe this way, she can reject any comments that counter that belief. It’s really quite fun! If I say “we only have 10 miles left” she can easily respond that she’s really only thinking of 5. Even better, we never seemed to run out of things to talk about! I’m so looking forward to riding with her again next weekend.

We also have matching after-ride t-shirts made especially for us. The after-ride t-shirt is a ½ and ½ shirt. Last year, when the Houston-Austin trip was cut in half, I asked Willow to join me in another bike tour from Frisco to Ft. Worth. That one was cut in half too – so we proudly wear our Houston to Ft. Worth and Frisco to Austin shirts whenever we’re riding!
