We have been planning on doing more biking this summer but we've actually only been out twice so far. We did however get to our yearly ride to the Bike & Bean already this year. Usually we wait until bike season is almost over but we were prompt this year. It was suppose to be a sunny day so we left Twin 2's around 7:30 a.m. (originally planned to leave at 7:00 a.m. but we just couldn't pull it together in time). It took about 40 to 50 minutes to get down to the Bike & Bean and once there we drove about a km or so past it just to see what's beyond there (a little creepy in one part) then turned back around and stopped in for breakfast. We just grabbed a coffee and muffin each and quickly scarfed it down because while we were eating we could see the rain clouds starting to roll in and we wanted to beat the rain home.
The ride home is always much harder because after you've had a little rest you realize how sore your legs (and bum) are when you get back on your bike. We usually stop for pictures and take our time on the ride home but again, we were trying to beat the rain. It started shortly after we arrived home. One of these days we hope to start at the Bike & Bean and ride to Chester as we've never been down that way. One of these days.
The morning we got home from the Bike & Bean we did a JM video and then we got into skipping. It was so fun that we decided to do a skipping challenge (you can see the Twins love their challenges). So last Monday we started with 10 skips and everyday we add on 5 more. On July 31st we will be required to skip 100 skips without stopping/messing up. If we stop before our allotted number required we have to start again. It's been fun so far. Some days are easy and other days are so hard. It's weird.
Speaking of skipping, we had our Birthday BBQ this past weekend. It was a good time. Had 20+ people attend, 7 of those had birthdays in July. We had people inside and outside and just as everyone went outside and made themselves comfy by the fire it rained. And not just a sprinkle here and there it down poured. So everyone made their way inside. Then the subject of skipping came up and we suggested a skip off so about 1/2 of us went down to Twin 2's gym and had a skip off. During the skip off Twin 2's BFF says "you have the weirdest parties". Yes, yes we do.
We will be having our Annual Luddington Invitational Golf Tourny early this year as well in two weeks. We'll keep you posted on how that goes. We are renting a cottage in PEI this year so will make a weekend of it. Should be a good time.
