Off to NOMA Junction for the #DCBR2016 packet pickup
Scored front row parking - it was perfect
Got through the lines, lickety split!
Then for the camera they did mug...
And got free custom sunglasses at the REI Village!
 |
| The REI custom sunglasses were fun! |
Rain rain go away!
It didn't ruin STUR's weekend she must say!
But her Saturday run was all in the rain-
She was the only one out - it was insane!
She got it done since the pool was her next mission -
Her friend the Beast has a lot of ambition.
Second time back in the pool and she rocked 1800 meters...
Regular sessions in the water now-it's a keeper!
After a fun party with her Team Rabbit friends -
Off to bed, BRab she would send.
Because in the morning he had a bike ride -
Even though raining they wouldn't stay inside.
STEB spent Saturday doing an indoor chore....
Finishing up the kitchen back-splash with friends isn't a bore!
While playing oldies on the jukebox
Singing those tunes really rocks!
So STUR decided to be HIS Sherpa this time -
That's exactly what BRab had in mind!
Found parking and walked up to the start corral
Were able to find a couple of their pals!
STEB and RBug were lined up and ready to go...
They both looked like cycling pros!
RBug had picked up STEB at the crack -
They headed over to the East Potomac
 |
| Easy access parking again! |
Park that is - where they parked the car
And pedaled to the start - it wasn't too far!
First mission was to hit up the porta potties;
Next up they took a couple of corral selfies:
 |
| RBug and STEB are ready and waiting! |
 |
| Ready to Roll...War Eagle! |
Watched the area fill in with all the riders
Then here comes BRab with his STUR!
 |
| BRab is smiling before the start... |
Spent a few minutes chatting and such
Was it raining? Not too much....
 |
| This got all filled in with cyclists! |
"Have a safe ride!" STUR would say!
Next she ran up to the three mile mark-
She hopes that when BRab saw her it gave him a spark!
STEB and RBug were a little bit chilly
And STEB tried to forget she had to pee....
They knew once they got going they would warm up
And were thinking ahead to the hot Starbucks!
Some of the areas were a little tight and slow
But then it would open up and start to flow!
Running some more past the White House -
Here at mile 9 she was still looking for her spouse.
Got a glimpse of STEB and RBug-
They were going too fast to give them a hug.
STEB and RBug also saw STUR and they rode on by
They both shouted out a big, loud, "Hi!"
Then BRab came by and stopped for some aid-
Just to get some water - he wasn't delayed.
None of the riders fell down that STEB and RBug could see -
At one point they saw BRab and he was smiling with glee!
And STUR tried to see BRab again by the Air and Space Museum -
"He must have already gone by" she did reason.
Next thing you know STUR received a call -
He was done and told her he having a ball!
STUR ran back to meet him at the Canadian Embassy -
So cool to see that BRab did splendidly!
 |
| Hooray for BRab! All smiles at the finish! |
She's still training for a long swim don't you know?
 |
| Another #ironride in the books! |
Changed into try clothes - then that Popsicle stand they did blow!
Then - finally - they got their hot lattes,
And STEB was dropped at home you see.
She wasted no time headed to Home Depot for some grout
Then back to finish the kitchen tile project without a doubt!
 |
| Kitchen Tile Project - Check! |
Later she and her son headed to RBug's for a meal
Yummy dinner then Cards Against Humanity was the deal!
Meanwhile, RBud did a 10 miler in Georgetown
It was almost like a Tough Mudder - but she didn't frown!
 |
| RBud in the mud! |
The riders got a view of The Exorcist stairs there...
If you ever run up them - there's only 75 - beware!
The inaugural DC Bike Ride was organized and a lot of fun
Despite the bottle necks and crummy weather and lack of sun
STEB and RBug would do this ride again
Maybe make it an entire Rabbit affair then?
