Mid Day Escape

Yesterday was a perfect day to get out and ride.   Crisp clear blue skis with thin clouds.  The shipping and receiving team headed out to run some errands.

Once the hard stuff was done, it was off to the beach, 

This is the kind of weather we pay extra for, just a little chilly, but you can not complain if you are wearing shorts still.

 

Pattern Developing

It has been a few weeks since our little girl started child care a couple of days each week.   After our post lunch ride I was reviewing the pictures and noticed a pattern.  She is in on Monday and Tuesday, and guaranteed fog, gloom and onshore winds.  The other three days she is home, the sun comes out, the surf is usually pumping, we watch from the beach, and the playgrounds are blazing hot to the touch.

We still have tons of fun, and I cherish each moment, but I really do want to get back in the water someday.

 If only the rest of life’s challenges were that big of a deal.

End of the Week

Finally made it to the end of the week, one of those weeks where days feel like weeks and the week felt like a month.  This morning it was trying to rain with a false start, not fog and not quite thunder storms.  Just gloomy out.  Then it gave way to an incredible day.  I loaded up the team on the family truckster and headed down to the beach to get some sun, air and check the surf.

Happy Friday, enjoy the weekend and play outside!

 

Cross Town Ride

The fog has moved out to see and it was a fantastic morning for a cool crisp ride across town to get some groceries.

 

Our little girl is growing up fast, 15 months now, and we can head out for multi stop errand rides well over an hour and up to 12 miles or so.  Snacks, water and breaks in the trip are critical to success, but easy to do and keep the rides fun.  One of the bigger challenges has been in re-assessing the routes to minimize busy roads that I would otherwise ride my own bike on.  We get to see a bit more of the neighborhoods we hope to call home in the coming year and scope out the cool playgrounds.  As with kids in general the only way to understand how fun can be is through doing it.
