OWS SUP Rap

Ready to rock! PS - It's sunny!

Friday night some rabbits headed over to Wolf Trap Farm Park
They were going to see Sgt Pepper music performed not on a lark!

Enjoying the lawn!

STEB brought something to play with - bubbles!!
A dude asked to borrow them - he might have been trouble.
He later offered JRab a swig off his flask...
What was in it? We were afraid to ask!
Later on he got in trouble for waving a lighter -
It seemed security could have been tighter.

The Sgt. Pepper musicians rocked!

The Beast and STUR swam indoors on a beautiful summer Saturday -
They still managed a good amount of "meterage"- you don't say?

Road bike selfies!

STEB and Jeff went to ride the W&OD Trail
Managed 33 miles total out and back without fail.

Scenes from Herndon!

Photo ops were at both the Herndon and Vienna caboose
And during the ride lots of little chipmunks were on the loose!

The Vienna caboose!

Forgot to take a picture when they stopped to turn around
At Smith’s Switch Station is where they could be found!
There have been changes since STEB last rode on the trail path
Going under Church Road is good because one crossing caused a bloodbath!
Also there was the addition of new trail crossing lights
Helped getting across some streets to STEB’s delight
There was at least one rude cyclist when they were almost done
Nearly took out an inline skater – that would not have been fun
That dude was funny though and they chatted with him a bit
He was skating with some coffee - what a fun way to stay fit!
That afternoon STEB met up with RBud for some coffee
It had been a while since they had done that you see.
They had a nice time catching up
STEB wished RBud luck for Sunday and the SUP!
On Sunday morning STUR once again got a ride to the harbor from STEB!
Was Jeff along for the ride this time? You bet!

Sunglasses selfie!

From National Harbor they did a run over the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.
Did they run into Virginia? Just a smidge.

Welcome to Virginia!

STEB giving 'ears up' after her run was complete
On the way back you went by some funny smoke - it was WEED!

Happy she did not have to run through a cloud of cigarette smoke?

Next up they all jumped into the Potomac!
Was the water flat as a pancake? No such luck.

The water temp was nice, but it was choppier than it looks!

STUR made it around 10 times in the chop -
Until they made her - she was not going to stop!
KBun was there and joined the crew in the water -
She's on fire with her Kona training - couldn't be hotter!!
STEB was happy with her six loops around the loop
Which totaled just over a mile if you want the scoop!

We did it!

Next up STUR continued with her very active day-
Meeting CBun in Reston for a SUP lesson with Surf Reston no way?!!!
The "lesson" was to the point and very quick -
STUR was really hoping in her brain it would all stick!
First you paddle out on just your knees -
Then stand up when you please!
STUR lost count on how many times she went in the drink -
She's glad to be a good swimmer - she doesn't sink!
Getting back on the board was actually a breeze -
She may have fallen in on purpose once or twice - geez!!
JRab announced, "I just turned this thing like a BOSS!"
Next thing you know into the lake he was tossed!
CBun and RBud managed to stay completely dry -
On that board they both had skills and could fly.
In the end STUR and JRab had a blast -
If they both practice - they might get fast?
STUR is definitely anxious to do it again -
So much fun taking the board for a spin!!
Meanwhile STEB met up with NanWa and her man
They were headed to the Nats game, understand?

STEB was lucky to enjoy lunch under the tent!

First they got to partake in the special pregame food tent
Lots of burgers and dogs is what that meant!

Nationals sunglasses were handed out in the party tent!

The sun was nice but the clouds were our friend!

NanWa's friend from work was right behind us!

Inside there might have been some Cracker Jack going down
Sadly the Nats lost, but a good time was had all around!

What a fun afternoon!
