Cycling Diva and Mermaid Diva spent the weekend in Munds Park. Cycling Diva rode the Taylor House metric century on Saturday. Friday and Sunday both divas hiked; Crystal Point and Schnebly Hill.
Lessons learned:
Lesson #1: What goes down, must go up. Schnebly Hill was a beautiful hike (see attached pic)! Approx.2.5miles down became a rough 2.5 miles UP! GORGEOUS scenery though!! Cycling diva learned that hand sanitizer from Bath and Body Works can also be used as bug repellent (good idea Mermaid Diva!). The Divas used their cell phone GPS apps. to track their mileage.
Lesson #2: Cycling Diva hates yard sales! The Taylor House event signage was neon green signs with black arrows (the arrows indicated when we were supposed to turn). Well...there were also a bunch of yard sales that used the same signage. At least I wasn't the only idiot cyclist who visited a few yard sales during the ride. Mermaid Diva worked as Cycling Diva's roadie for this event. Thanks Mermaid Diva!!
Cycling Diva was surprised by two very special fans at the last 3 miles of the ride...on the side of the road were mom and dad cheering on a very tired Cycling Diva. Without mom and dad's truck to follow...Cycling Diva wouldn't have found the finish line...why???...because someone moved the final arrow!! GRR! The lame map the cyclists were given wasn't specific enough either.
In Summary...the divas had a LOVELY weekend of hiking and cycling!
