Mountain bike races and Ritidian Beach
These past few weekends there has been a mountain bike series race. Unfortunately, I don't own a mountain bike, so I had to borrow from a friend and missed the first 2 races. Fortunately, I was able to make the last few.
I know it's not too exciting hearing about my bike racing, so I will keep that part short. :-)
However, it's interesting to note, the first race was solely on the road...
After I finished the race, I was able to relax a little. :-)
Our friends chillin' after the race...
Auri and Lorena
Jude and Donna
Then we decided that we really wanted to relax, so we went down to Ritidian Beach with Mark and Lorena to cool off in the water. These pictures are a combination of ours and Mark's (thank you, Mark!).
Here we are down at the beach...
Enjoying the water...
Lorena really wanted to cool off... :-)
Here's a good shot of Mark and Lorena.
Walking back to the car...it was a good day.

Last weekend was the final race in the series and it was an actual off road race. In fact, it was my first "official" off road race. The set up was 6 laps around a short course...over muddy, slippery rocks and hills. I had fun, but partly because I fell twice, I wasn't in contention for placing. Oh well. At least I only fell in the mud, not the rocks!
Ok, well that about does it for this race series....tomorrow, we're going out on a friend's boat. It's only the second time we've taken a small boat out. Should be fun...so, we will hopefully get lots of good pictures to share.
Until then...
