Memorial Day Weekend Plans?

[evangundy]

Just curious what everyone has planned for the long weekend.

I'll be spending most of my time, all three days, at Portland Int'l Raceway, as part of the Race Committee for the "Human Power Challenge". (Fancy name for our Recumbent Races) If you're in the Portland area with nothing to do, come watch for awhile. Free to spectators, only cost is if you race. Check the website for info: http://www.ohpv.org/HPC/index.html I'll race a couple times but mostly be doing registration, then lap counting, figuring times and winners, preparing awards, etc. It's a fun weekend with all the folks that come from all over the US and Canada for it.

Come say hi if you stop by
So what are y'all doing?

I'm taking my day off from college and going to test ride bikes at the Trek store in Madison. Hi-fi or fuel? That is the question....

I will be watching a college baseball game and going to a circus. I think...

Sasquatch Music Festival (http://sasquatchfestival.com/2008/) on Saturday, rock hunting for geodes on Sunday.

Moving, blech. Volunteering at the Celestial Seasonings tent during the Bolder Boulder 10k road race. People at work keep asking if I'm running. Hello, look at the size of my butt, does it it look like it? Noooo, I'm handing out cold tea to hot runners, and I do hope hot in several senses of the word.

Oh, and buying a new bike. Yeah, that's pretty neato too! Oh I hope my mom can ship my stuff to me sooooon! I just found an old pic on here of when SadieKate and I rode together and I was so much thinner and stuffs. Hope my fat butt still fits in my gear.

Goin' to Vegas for a date with Elvis.

A very handsome cyclist, who I met in another cycling forum, is flying out to spend the Memorial weekend with me. First meet and he's bringing his bike! We connect so many ways through writing, I hope we connect in person as well!

Hey good luck DeeDolce- I'll be sending good vibes today!

DH and I are putting on our 9th annual old-time music campout/gathering at a fairgrounds for about 100 musician friends all weekend. Gotta leave in an hour or so and start putting up tarps and our campsite. Bringing my banjo!

No big plans here. I'll be getting myself ready for the end of the school year, relaxing on the couch, mowing the lawn and participating in one or two centuries.

[Mr. Bloom]

We're packing up for the Horsey Hundred in beautiful central Kentucky. Shooting for the century tomorrow and 70 on Sunday. Then SilverSon wants to see Indiana Jones 4, so I'll look forward to doing that.

Makbike, sorry we won't see you at the Horsey...if something changes, give us a call.

Replacing the fence that got blown over in yesterday's huge wind storm. Yeah - gotta love digging out fence posts.

Eating Brats at BRAT FEST (mmmmm) in Madison and watching the Madison Marathon. Woohoo!!

[Bad JuJu]

Weekend on two wheels: cycling tomorrow, probably a 40-45-mile route, motorcycle on Sunday, then both on Monday--not at the same time, though. Hope the weather cooperates!

Waaaa. I am supposed to be doing a practice self-supported bike tour up to Copper Harbor (maybe 40 miles away). My first ever, so this is to be the shake-down event. However, I'm sick, and this morning my lungs feel like they are about 1/3 full of crud. Again I say WAAAAAAAAA! If I don't feel better than this, I'll never make it. We'll see - I'm proceeding as though it's going to happen, because if I'm not ready tomorrow but I'm feeling better, I'll kick myself. Not sure about the whole sleeping on the ground in 40-ish nighttime temps, though. Fortunately, I had planned to take a vacation day today, to get ready. Maybe by the time I finish my tea and take a shower things will be better. Or maybe I'll just ride up in the car with DH, who doesn't have a touring bike (yet), hang out with our friends, and come home.

Sounds like you guys have some great plans (well, sorry Veronica - that doesn't sound like extreme fun, but it does remind me of all my Memorial Day weekends growing up on a farm ).

Have a great time, everybody! Watch yourself, Zen - I hear he's trouble.

Hopefully I will get a ride in on all three days. Quiet weekend with just hubby and our daughter, who goes to college locally. Our son is away at college and will not be coming home for the three day weekend. Gas too expensive for his poor college pockets. Joe and I said we would pay but he is doing things with friends.

Maybe go to the movies and see the new Indiana Jones movie or Narnia or both!

At school I am working out a schedule to close down the library for summer break. Booke inventory, data backup, student fines, etc. Last day of school is June 18th for students. I want all books returned by June 2nd. I have the end of year dance on the 13th to use as leverage to get those books in or no dance ticket. Aaaahhh middle school kids! Gotta love em!
