After the last several consecutive blazing-hot weekends, that one was a nice respite. \u00a0I kicked it off, of course, down at the Brooksider. \u00a0Just too nice out not to. \u00a0The rest of the boys had been out playing golf all day, so they were worn out. \u00a0We hung out a few hours and then everybody called it a day early. \u00a0Donette’s family came over later for a visit, despite the relatively unkempt condition of the house. \u00a0Had a nice time though. \u00a0They all headed out for some Foo’s Frozen Custard later, but I took a pass on that. \u00a0Dieting and all, you know.<\/p>\n
Saturday my friend Dennis (that used to live across the street) picked me up at 6:00 for an early morning bike ride. \u00a0There was an MS-150 training ride leaving from the Subaru dealership out in Lee’s Summit. \u00a0The route was based on the Tour de Lakes<\/a> organized ride from earlier this year, just with a different starting point. \u00a0The big plus here was the whole ride was free, save for a few stops along the way at convenience stores for water. \u00a0On the downside, it was a quite hilly route, and windy too. \u00a0And, we missed the turn-off for our intended 45 mile route and ended up on the 63 mile ride. \u00a0Eh, it was all good. \u00a0It was a nice ride, and can’t beat the price. \u00a0Not to mention, when we got back to the dealership they had catered in a big BBQ lunch for everybody! \u00a0After eating lunch and driving back home, it was well into afternoon couch-time. \u00a0We did head down to the Brooksider again for little bit; \u00a0Who knows how long this weather will last.<\/p>\n
