I will post on No Bananas 5k tomorrow. I'm waiting on some pics from my friend Pat. Once you read tomorrow's post you will figure out why it took me a week to post on last weekend's bike.
Last weekend's weather far exceeded this weekend's constant deluge. (Can you tell I spent this weekend writing year-end narratives?) Fortunately I signed up to participate in the Middlesex Community College Bike Challenge which was organized by my husband and some of his talented colleagues. We were lucky to have a free babysitter so I didn't think twice about signing up for the 40 mile ride. Thanks Auntie Heather!

I initially hadn't planned on participating but our kids' daycare provider was interested and she said she wouldn't do it unless she had someone to bike with. Sandy is so inspiring. She is willing to try almost anything and over the last couple years she has completely transformed herself physically. Halfway into the 40 ride she admitted that two years ago she could hardly bike one mile. She is in incredible shape and spirit. True evidence of this was the smile that was plastered on her face the entire ride. I'm so thankful she asked me to ride with her as the weather was beautiful and we took our time so as to maximize our enjoyment.
One of the highlights of the day was meeting up with the kids at the end. One of the college photographers was there and captured these awesome pics.
