and the craziness continues

No, not the craziness of this past week (although some of that is still here) but the craziness that is CYCLING!! Since we picked up Wells's bike, he has only been able to go on three rides and no longer than about 10 miles. He is so funny, he keeps yelling at the rain! I do that too but not nearly as vocal. Anyway, the craziness is this - today we registered for a few bike rides! Here's our schedule (on top of everything else we scheduled for the summer).

June 26: Wells and I will participate in Antelope by Moonlight. This fun ride starts at 10:00 p.m. and we go around Antelope Island at night. It's a 23-mile ride and should be a good starter for Wells.

July: Training month! :)

Aug 14: Wells will do Bike the Bear. This event is celebrating 100 years of BSA, so lots of scouts and leaders. He is going to try the 50-mile distance (thus the month of training), and he will be on his own as I will be on a business trip (yes, I'm very sad about that).

Aug 28: Both of us are preparing for the 50-mile distance of the Cache Valley Century. My new riding partner (if we ever get together) will ride it with us.

September 4-6: GRUB Fest baby!! This biking festival is held over Labor Day weekend. It has three century rides (of which we will probably only do one and only the half (50) century), a bike parade (totally going to steal Trent and decorate his bike for the parade), clinics, and lots of crazy riding. It is held in Minersville so I hope Pauline doesn't care if we crash at her place for the weekend. This festival will finish out our cycling summer.

November 27: We are considering the Saturday Fatterday Ride. The only fee is food donations for the Utah Food Bank. They call it the Fatterday ride because it is the Saturday after Thanksgiving (and Wells's birthday this year). It is not a supported ride but could be a lot of fun to do. We'll see what November brings.

And, on top of all that, I signed the kids up for a week of EFY. Of course, they are going two separate weeks so they would have more fun! Whatever. I think that's funny. Kaitlyn will go to EFY one week, have music and movement the next week, and band camp the next. She's going to be exhausted. I don't know how these kids are going to finish their summer classes with everything else that is going on. Like I said...CRAZY!!
