What do you have planned for the holiday weekend?

**AnnieBikes** · 05-22-2009, 06:08 AM

I am picking up my DH after his 900 mile ride on the GAP, C&O, WOD, Skyline Dr. and BRP all the way to NC. If you got all that you are doing well!!! Son, DIL and granddaughter will meet us at home tomorrow afternoon and spend the weekend here. Maybe a ride on Monday afternoon after the dust settles and everyone is home! It may rain (afternoon thunderstorms) but I don't care. I am just happy to have DH home, and have a bit of my family here!

Ride to Nowhere tomorrow, maybe ride or recover Sunday, and then a long mountain-y road ride Monday.

50-55 mile training ride tomorrow with a couple of buddies, shorter ride probably Sunday; finish planting my tomato plants and get the impatiens planted; grill & chill.

100 Miles of Nowhere tomorrow (may end up being the 50 Miles of Nowhere though). Cardboard boat building on Sunday. Monday morning going to a local cemetary to put flags on the graves of veterans, and Monday afternoon probably finishing up the boat. I hope.

55-mile bike ride on Saturday, BBQ on Sunday, going to see Star Trek on Monday.

BBQ at my moms sometime this weekend, and lots of working on/in/around the house. We'll probably take a nice motorcycle ride at some point as well.

5 K race walk at Greek Fest this evening. To justify eating the baklava ice cream sundae they serve there.

The rest depends on thunderstorms... whether me and my bike head out for a levee ride. I do have 3 pounds of blue berries, and two big bag full of black berries (in the freezer) that I need to make jam out of. I'd hate to loose all the blackberries to a power failure during hurricane season and the hot steamy weather is holding off for a wee bit.

Baklava ice cream sundae? I have a new goal in life.

Tomorrow, a visit with a friend and her new baby, and a quiet evening home with the kiddo. Hoping rain holds off long enough that we can go ride bikes for a while. Sunday is my first day off with my partner in a month- she's been traveling and I've been working, so my daughter goes to visit her father at 9am, I'm biking out to the farmers market, then home for a date day. She's going to let me teach her how to change a bike tire, because I have to teach a class next weekend on that- and she's going to let me teach her some riding skills which rocks because she hates riding bikes. Monday I'm hiking a section of the northville placid trail. Between things I have a new book that is supposed to be published in July and my arse needs to be working hard on it!

Piece of baklava in a picnic soup bowl, soft serve vanilla ice cream, 2 generous spoonfuls of the cinnamon sugar nut mixture that was used to make the baklava, wiith a cherry on top.

5 K walk time: 43:40

It is our 6th wedding anniversary but with a new job and the high price of COBRA we cancelled any travel/camping plans. So today we are mountain biking then going to my inlaws to get some free beef (they raise cattle and just took 2 to the market), going out to where we went to college to mounatin bike and have an anniversary dinner at a deli we love Sunday (mmmm Blue Baker) and Monday sleep in then do a road ride. It is supposed to be blazing so I better go get some new sunscreen.

Today cycle with 5 other people. It is rare that I cycle with this many people. Usually if it's with anyone, it's only 1 other person.

1 of them is a 70 yr. grandmother who's been cycling over 40 past yrs. ?She did cycle across Canada over 2/3 of trip solo after she retired from nursing at 65. She's actually featured on the front cover of latest issue of Momentum magazine.

Others are "teenagers" like me.

but there will be 2 in whole gang whom I've never met before.

**roadie gal** · 05-23-2009, 06:13 AM

I'm going to be working and hiding from the tourists.

**MomOnBike** · 05-23-2009, 07:10 PM

DH & I are riding just under 50 miles to a small community near our home, then spending the night there at an historic hotel. A few koloches (local pastry- think a Czech Danish) and ride back home Monday.

Yep, it's going to be fun.

**jessica47201** · 05-24-2009, 04:41 PM

Well, unfortunatly, I worked Friday and Saturday, and I'm currently at work right now. At least I did get in 15 miles on Friday and Saturday and today before I went to work I did 19 miles. But at least I have Monday off, my DH and I will probably ride at Clifty Falls!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!!!!
