This started out as a ride to complete a quick errand -- but I convinced myself to go a bit further, and then a bit further, and then to do a loop.
And I'm so glad I continued past the point(s) where I considered turning around! As I was huffing and puffing up the short, steep hill where Coal Creek Drive turns into 66th Street (a hill I walked my bike up last time -- yay!), I thought I heard a truck's back-up beeper (there's a water tank over there, and also an old landfill -- seeing big trucks around there isn't unusual).
But, as I crested the hill, I saw a group of about 30 people hula-hooping...with music...and a drone overhead getting footage of it all. What the what?! It was someone's 50th birthday, apparently. It looked like LOTS of fun, and someone offered me a beer, but I was losing daylight and had no lights (since this ride started out as a quick errand...).
It was hilarious -- I couldn't stop laughing for a while as I continued on.
I was really worried about having a mechanical issue (I realized shortly before encountering the party that I had my running pack, not my biking pack, and therefore no spare tube, no tools, etc.), and also worried about getting run over on Marshall Road riding at dusk with no lights -- but I made it home. Whew.
