Saturday we are going to ride up the Blue Ridge Parkway (there was a rock slide so the section we are riding is closed to traffic...wooohoooo). Sunday we will be going to a local haunt to check out a Kids trail which I heard has a bunch of obstacles to practice mtbike skills...Someday I will be leading a skill clinic for the club members of the team I am on...it will be a very basic casual clinic I am hoping will lead into more someday!
Monday we work...I work alot of holidays like this and take other days off that aren't so crowded out there on the road! Hubby works for a hospital...no holidays for him (he has great time off benefits tho!!!) it all works well for us!

3 day supported bike tour in the White Mountains (border of AZ and NM) Thought it would be hot, but now it is snowing! Should be fun!

Holiday weekend by the numbers:
3 days of biking
2 road rides
1 mountain bike ride.
One picky-nicky with friends.
And hopefully, my friend Terry will soon be out of ICU so we can go visit him.
-
We are having a BBQ on Monday. The other 2 days I will be riding, at least one of the days we will be with friends. We'll be going out to dinner with them, too. I am hoping that Monday, before the BBQ I can take my mountain bike out for the first time this year.
Next Wednesday my students are putting on a production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." I can't wait for it to be over... Our last day is June 17th and then I become a student again (well, my classes don't start until the end of August).

I'm kicking off the weekend by taking my pooch for a 4-mile hike later today up on the Blue Ridge Parkway on a jeep road that is lined wall-to-wall with huge rhododendrons---all of which should be in glorious bloom.
Tomorrow, a 42-mile bike ride for Habitat for Humanity, starting off with IFJane and some of her buddies. I'll have to take it easy 'cause my IT band on the right side is fussing at me something fierce today.
Sunday and Monday: gardening, yay!!! Punctuated by dinner Sunday night with some dear friends who will be in town. Haven't seen them in about two years.......
Oh, and LOTS of stretching to counter the hiking, biking and gardening.....:)

Hmm... I'm a bit jealous here. Being an ER worker, (doggie style), my schedule is based on weekends and holidays. It seems good till I hear everyone talk about 3-day weekends!
I'll be working Friday night and Saturday night. Hopefully a ride and/or run Saturday before heading into work, sleep and then some workout on Sunday and dinner with friends that night.
Monday -- I"M FREE.... to finally plant those flowers and vegetables that have been threatening to die in their pots! Plus I'd like to go and see about a new commuter bike!
Have a good one everyone, and keep your pets safe so I'm not busy!

Party tomorrow, first time a lot of my friends are seeing my "new" place (moved there in September). Sunday, my brother, cousin, and I are going for a ride to get her prepared for the MS50 on June 1. She's never done a 50 (probably never done 25), so we need to get her on the road. That's followed with the family Memorial Day gathering, and I'd like to take my cousin riding again Monday, but we'll see if it fits in her schedule:rolleyes:
-
I had hoped to be putting as many miles as possible on a new bike - but since it isn't finished yet I will be putting as many miles as possible on my old bike. Non-biking time will be spent walking the dog and in the pool. And I can almost smell the portobello burgers on the grill now. Unfortunately, DH and I now live 500 miles aways from our extended family. Memorial Day weekend was always a family time "back home". We'll miss having family around - but biking, walking, swimming and watching baseball ain't so bad.
Lets be sure we all take a few minutes to remember why we recognize Memorial Day. Have a great holiday.

The weather looks to be nice in these parts, so Saturday it's a 40 mile ride, Sunday running a half-marathon, and then Monday riding again - length and intensity depending on how my legs are feeling on Sunday. I've been running a lot lately and have really missed riding my bike, so I'm looking forward to riding much more these coming weeks than I have been
:)
-
Lots of riding, plenty of hiking, lots of eating (5 guys cheeseburger on Monday) and some napping!
-
40 mile ride tomorrow. 4 mile race on Monday. Hopefully, good food in between.
-
Well I was planning to clean my bike tonight but now it looks like I'm going to the movies with some friends. Maybe there will still be time to take care of the bike afterwards.
Tomorrow will start with a trip to the LBS to get my sit bones measured. Depending on what saddles they have in stock, maybe I'll buy one. Then I'm off for a 45-50 mile training ride. After that I will probably take a nice nap.
Sunday I think I'm going to Rolling Thunder on the National Mall. Monday I'm hoping for a short bike ride. Maybe I will head back into DC for the parade.
-
HOpefully lots of riding. HOping for good things for you, DeeDolce!!
Club is doing a "wind aided ride" Saturday - driving out to INdiana and riding back - but I'll be leading my Saunter. Sunday, I dunno... Monday - "around c u" ride.
It's pretty rainy now.
Skierchickie... take it *really* easy right now - this crud seems to either go away right away... or hang around *forever* and be pretty nasty. Hope you're in the first group! Are you less congested in the head than you expect? (Thats eems to be the thing around here... nasal passages and what have you are pretty clear but entirely *too* productive in the cough category! Pardon the TMI...)
-
No plans so far. I started the day by riding to the post office. I dropped off some Bicycling magazines I'd been saving to send MSG Hall who as far as I know is still serving.
On the way back I took a detour to do a quiet route I sometimes do .... nope, still under construction so headed home.
Today I'll run a couple house errands and have sushi for dinner with a friend.
-
Saturday in-laws are coming to go to a big annual craft fair and to help us christen our new BBQ grill.
Sunday hiking with the wee ones
Monday - parade, and then leaving the kids with my parents so that DH and I can actually ride TOGETHER!!!! We have a nice 35 mile loop through rolling farmlands planned. I can almost feel the stress melting away already . . .
