Memorial Day Weekend Plans?

[7rider]

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

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!
