Last weekend there was the SPERM ride. It's a nice ride on the trails through Des Moines. There was a great turn out (i think Steve still wins for coming the furthest). The weather was amazing, sunny and warm. Riding in downtown after dark is always really cool to me, everyone's lights on flashing and blinking. I got my social groove and enjoying talking to everyone. I've met some really fun girls through Wine Night that are bikers too, yea!
Steve and I ended up calling it a night pretty early. I think all the sunshine and fresh air just wiped us out. Ok, maybe for me it was getting up early for that class then riding all day, plus capping the evening with shots at Carls. Nevertheless I was asleep by 11pm! Steve woke me up at the crack of dawn with mumbling something about Perkins and pancakes. I tried to ignore him, that was til he mention bacon and coffee. With that we were off to Perkins, after the tasty breakfast we came back and took a nap! HA! Seriously...
The nap was a good idea. Once we woke up (for the second time) we bike up (as in up hill) to Beaverdale and woke up Jo, guess her fun didn't end at Carls. Her new place is really cute, I guess the reward for riding uphill to get there is that great deck and hot tub! After Jo's we biked to the Bait Shop for some tasty Petes Wicked, love that! The bartender told us he owned a bar over on the East Side, so of course we biked over there to check it out. Cool neighborhood bar and they had Big Buck Hunter! Steve beat me but I got more trophies!
All in all it was a really good weekend. Got in some good miles! Thought I would be riding this weekend but that seems iffy. This morning it was 22 degrees when I woke up! Brr. Currently they are forecasting 37 as the high on Saturday. Maybe I'll be back on the trainer.
