Weekend Bike Ride

Many of you already know....but this coming weekend is a MS bike ride that me, Tiffany, Mindy and Natalie (all friends from work) signed up for. We are doing the beginner ride that is 40 miles on Saturday and 40 miles on Sunday. It may not sound like lots (to someone like my sister that just jumps on her bike for a quick 100 miles) but it is a good starting point. We have been riding as much as we can (with all the rain we have been getting it has been hard to get out) and trying to get ready. When Mindy signed up she already knew she was pregnant, and now she is 5 months along...what a trooper to be doing the ride still. Natalie on the other hand, just found out that she was pregnant and has been sick. So we have 2 pregnant girls riding.....I think they are awesome!

Stay tuned, I will try and get some good pictures and report back after the fun weekend. If nothing else, just the girls are staying up in Logan this weekend....so that will be tons of fun. Wish us luck!

Good Luck!! I hope you have great weather!! I am sure that you will do awesome! I would love to do a bike race someday. For now, I just stick to running because it is a little cheaper while Matt is still in school. 80 miles sounds like a lot to me!! I hope you have somewhere comfortable to sleep and that your friends can keep from being sick!! They must be some tough ladies!! I can hardly get from the couch to the fridge when I am pregnant!!!! STAY SAFE and enjoy your weekend with the girls!!

I didn't know it was 40 miles each day!! That's a big accomplishment (for anyone!!) I hope you have a great time....and keep on riding, even after the event! GOOD LUCK! (drink lots of water, and eat...both before you feel like you NEED to). ~kk
