If you have never heard of a Tweed ride or run. It started in London and basically you dress in your finest circa 1920's 30's tweed best and you hop on your bike and tour the town in a leisure way. We all met up at this amazing little coffee shop in downtown Mobile called Cream and Sugar.
After a cup of coffee and a few rules we hopped on our bikes and headed downtown to Cathedral Square to play a little crochet. It was really cool just kind of taking it easy and strolling downtown on our bikes. I am so used to racing, it was a nice change.
My mom had gotten a really cool lime green beach cruiser for her birthday from my stepdad. I cant believe she is 68 years old. She is so cute!
It was a wonderful day filled with lots of laughs, crochet, and bike riding. If you guys get a chance to take part in a Tweed ride in your town, do it! You will LOVE it!
So it is Mardi Gras time here in Mobile, so be prepared for some Mardi Gras post this week...
I also have started back my heavy training and it feels GREAT! I have joined in on Cindy's eight week bikini body challenge and week 1 went pretty good. I will update you guys on tomorrow on my progress. It was awesome seeing Sean the beast, working out at 5:30 in the morning wearing a shirt that kept me motivated. I am soooo not a morning person!
I also found my way back into the water and AHHHHHH, I was at home. However I have not swam much since Ironman Augusta and OMG, it was rough! LOVED every second it. Getting to train with these ladies made my day...
I see some major triathlons happening this year with this group. I'm just happy Alecia, Marjorie, and Anita let me hang out with them. :) Also does anyone else get puffy face like that after a hard workout? :(
Well I hope you guys have a great week. I am running the Joe Cain Classic next weekend and Ill tell you all about it. Until then, stay AWESOME!!!
Have you ever did a Tweed Ride?
