Morning Meanderings… Events the past couple of weeks

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  😀 

The past two weekends I have had bike rides, and in honor of Alyce’s Saturday Snapshots I thought I would post a few pics I took from these rides.

This is us pulling into the Ironman bike ride on May 6th. The weather was a bit gloomy….

 

The first thing we have to do is go in and let registration know we are there, get out wrist band and then we are free to ride. This ride was a 17,30,50,68, or 100 mile ride

 

Myself (left) and my friend Amy prior to the ride.

 

I let Amy choose what route we would take – the weather was supposed to storm all day. she chose: 50!

 

At the lunch stop we could gather around this little baby…. I love it! It looks like a cauldron and makes me think of Harry Potter!

 

We finished that 50 mile ride without a drop of rain on us.  No idea how that happened – we just missed it. 😀 

 

Then last Saturday I drove to meet us with my MS team for a 50 mile ride in the Cities.  This time the weather was awesome!

These are the girls I rode with: Me (Left), Belinda, Sheila, and Diane

I did not take a whole lot of pics on this ride -f or some reason when I rode I felt awful – I ached, my neck, my legs, my arms…. the total opposite of the weekend before when I felt great.  A friend (ex -friend) of mine said, “Well Sheila, as we get older our body does not recover as quickly….”

*fingers in ears*  LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

LOL.  So that is what I have been doing these past two weekends when not enjoying a good book.  😀 

 

This weekend, my College Son and I are heading up to our cabin on the North Shore.  We are both looking forward to this.  It is about a 3 and 1/2 drive from our home. but we will stop in Duluth for lunch, maybe Barnes and Noble… and then continue on up. We are planning some biking, hiking, board games, movies…  and we are not coming back until Monday afternoon. 😀 

 

Stop over to Alyce’s At Home With Books and see what everyone else is posting for Saturday Snapshot!  😀

I do have posts prepped…. so please stop and see me – I will totally catch up with ya all early next week 😀

  3. Your weekend sounds fun. I’ll think of you while I’m mowing and trimming and pruning bushes and collapsing in a heap when I’m done. 🙂

  6. Great pics! And friends don’t tell friends that we’re getting old! Earmuffs!

    Hope you and your son have a great time at the cabin! Enjoy!

  9. I get tired just thinking about riding 50 miles! No wonder you were achy. Have a great weekend at the cabin… and relax a little!

  11. I like bicycle diehards on all weather. Fun can not measured by rain or sun alone because there are other things.
    With books-can not be measured by pages.
    Enjoy the weekend.

  18. Gosh, aren’t you energetic! When I first started work I used to cycle everywhere (because I kept failing driving tests,and I needed transport) but I haven’t ridden one for years. Love the pictures.
