WOW...Last weekend was a busy blast!
My weekend started off like any weekend, going to the Zac Brown Band concert in Louisville. It was a blast and I was finally able to see the new YUM! Center Stadium. Even better than that, our hotel was across the street.
On Saturday, it was off to my grandparent's birthday celebration/annual yardsale. We grilled out some fabulous hamburgers and had the most unusual "birthday cake", sweet potato casserole! Requested by Granny.
Another cookout followed. At this one, I ended up chasing this little girl around the yard, stepped in some dog poo (which is just great) and said little girl poured her coke on me. Now that's what a cookout is all about!
On Sunday, I succeeded in cycling 50 miles. The ride is called the Horsey Hundred and it is fantastic. They have mapped out rides on Saturday and Sunday ranging between 30-100 miles. While on the ride, you come across rest stops every 15-25 miles. These rest stops are the bomb! They're loaded with water, powerade, fruit, sandwiches, chips, granola bars, etc. Then, after the ride, they have a huge lunch laid out for the participants. Since we started late, most of the stuff was gone...however, I had the best pimento cheese sandwich ever. Dad and my stepmom decided on doing the 30 miler and my boyfriend, Stu, and I opted for the 50.

You would think that would conclude my weekend...but NOOOOO. On Memorial Day, Stu and I decided to do Bike Lexington with my mom and stepdad. Bike Lexington is a family friendly 10 mile bike ride that starts downtown. Before and after the event, there's vendors, food, music, and a lot of fun. Since Stu's bike isn't fixed yet, my dad was kind enough to let him use his. Well, when we got downtown, we realized that he had a flat tire. We ended up putting the bikes up and enjoying the activities. We got to make smoothies (and lemonade) peddling on a bike (the blender is attached to the bike so when you peddle, the blender starts up). My friend has always told me about doing that at the farmers market and it was fun to finally get the chance to give it a spin!
Well, that concluded my weekend. I have a lot to be thankful for.
