We have a very fun weekend planned. Olivia is going to Grandma's house tomorrow afternoon and I am meeting my husband in a little town West of Ann Arbor. He is taking his cycling club on a 75 mile ride (I get exhausted just thinking about it), we spend the night in a charming B&B and then they all ride back - Really!
My husband is one of those crazed bike obsessed individuals who can ride for hours without stopping to rest. Now, me on the other hand - well lets put it this way, yes I have a bike and all the "so-called" cute (not really) outfits, the helmut, the weird shoes with the little "clippy" things on the bottom and then there are the shorts... don't get me started about the shorts.
Like any good wife, I road with my husband pretending that those long, long excruciating rides were "oh so fabulous". But you see, I really enjoy rolling along, stopping look at the cows, the horses, have a snack - rest, but Marc likes to keep going and going and... well you get the picture. Then there were the tears, after 45 miles uphill - both ways - I would just start sobbing and well, he finally realized that I was not the obsessed cyclists he a had hoped for in a wife, so now he has his club. Ah, thank heaven for the club!
And me - oh I'm so happy just sitting at a cafe, chatting with a friend and waiting for him to come walking up in his cute little cycling outfit (he looks much better in the shorts then I do) to tell me how absolutely awesome it was and he wished I was there riding along side of him. (I think he has blocked out my sobbing on every ride over 10 miles)
I have a new book and plan on relaxing for the day - do you have any fun plans this weekend?
Enjoy!
