Memorial Day Weekend Plans?

[HillSlugger]

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...)

Geonz: Yep! That's the one! Congested, but mostly in my chest. Although right now my head is all plugged up and hurts, too. Constant tickle/scratch in my throat, hurts in my chest when I give in to it and cough. Coughing up stuff. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that 40 miles on a loaded bike, followed by sleeping in a tent would be a big mistake. Just have to figure out tomorrow whether I feel well enough to drive up and stay in a motel, or just stay home all weekend. Hanging around a campfire doesn't sound like that much fun right now. Unfortunately, DH's fun is affected by this, too.

The wind aided ride sounds fun - last weekend we did 45 miles, the first half into a 20-ish gusting into the mid-30s wind, but a tailwind all the way back. Yee haa!

Tomorrow I'll be packing and getting organized for a trip to the coast Sunday to hang out on our sailboat for a few days, do projects, and chill (have to pull the transmission cable to replace it, so no actual boating is planned, unfortunately). We are taking our 16-week old Boston Terrier puppy, Paisley, down to the boat with us for the first time, so hopefully she will do well. We're not coming home until Thurs. or Friday, depending on weather. I'm taking all week off work and can't wait!

Oh, and Sunday is DH and my 23rd anniversary.

Have a good weekend, all!

Lets see, Saturday - going to Home Depot to get some flowers and black paint, going to the pool store to get chlorine for the pool, Meijers to pick up a few groceries. Plant the flowers, get the leaves off the pool cover, maybe paint the utility trailer. Sunday - go for a bike ride, cook out. Monday - try riding my bike route for commuting to work, cook out.

We're going to try and reunite our little riding group and ride in the morning. Later in the morning I'll meet with a the gals who want to try some light mountain biking. Monday we're going to grill and have my parents over for lunch.

Maybe riding horseback in the Memorial Day parade here... Old West Days. Weather is predictably cruddy... aka Cold Wet Days. Dressed as a "Saddle tramp." Floofy black-and-pink dress, patterned tights, cowgirl boots, bolero sweater, at least two feather boas, cowgirl hat and bright lipstick. Woo hoo!

Maybe a bicycle ride if I can handle it after all that excitement.

Work Sunday and Monday. :-( But at least I get a holiday comp day to use for some other festive occasion, like a bike trip.
