Chocolate Bunnies & Ride Ride Ride!

I think I have recovered from the March Break crazy times with the family.   We packed up the kids and toys and drove down again to visit my parents in Florida.   The loooooong drive is not too bad actually and our kids are very good travelers ..and I admit now that they are old enough to love electronic games is totally the reason for peace in the car - not our excellent parenting.  There was lots of singing in the car too...but very thankfully no more 'wheels on the bus'...just revised versions of various top 20 tunes like the new Pink song "Try" instead..."gotta get up and drive drive drive".

I like to think of it as practicing for a 24 hr race.  Tag team with my hubby. We've gone all soft too - no nights.  No tent either-just a fast hotel sleep 1/2 way.  Just gotta suck it up and get it done. We pack a cooler with healthy snacks & water (to offset the chips & Twizzlers purchased along the way) & I call it the 'feed zone'.   Waking up at 5 or 6am to drive is almost like someone tapping your tent to do a lap.  Kinda sort of....  

Meanwhile, when we were away lots of planning has been going on to get everyone ready and psyched for riding season!

The Trek Women have set up a wine & cheese up at the Barrie store April 23 at 6pm.  I'll be there!

A social for the King Weekly MTB series is planned at Trek Aurora for April 17 - and if you sign up you can get a 1/2 price bike tune up which is a very sweet deal...fun friendly racing on a smooth running bike!  woohoo! I'll be there too!

And racing will be starting soon!   Durham's Thursday series starts April 11 - which was kind of a wake up call to get my race license - not that I'm planning to go to Durham (well...maybe) but I definitely will need it for April 28 - The first Ontario Cup of the season!  Yikes!

Just ordered my race license...I better get up and ride ride ride!!!!!
