Well, I’m back from the Trek and this week has been crazy!
First I’ll start with the Trek. It was AWESOME!
As I posted earlier, I was undecided about signing up again. But I have. How can I not? It’s just so damn fun!
Me and my friend Jen, her first Trek.
The weather was pretty good this year, too. Hot Friday, cloudy Saturday, and sunny, breezy Sunday.
With a small team this year, I ended up riding a fair bit by myself. We just ride at our own pace and no necessarily with our teammates so I just did my own ride. Typically we’d all catch up at the rest stops.
I had a friend that lent me a helmet camera for the Trek.
Helmet cam. I am a geek.
Unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to test it out before leaving. Without a computer to download the footage it was so hard to know where the camera was pointing so I had to hope for the best. I’m happy to say that I got some really great footage of the pavement between Bethel and Belfast. I wonder if the Maine Department of Transportation can use any of it?
Since I returned it’s been a crazy week. Crazy at work and also busy after work with social commitments. One of those commitments was attending a fundraiser for the Bicycle Coalition of Maine at Flatbread Pizza. I had heard they had a decent gluten free crust and after checking out the ingredients, finding that they were satisfactory, I ordered a pizza. That was a highlight of me week – real pizza that I haven’t had in a very long time!
Now the week is winding down and the weather a little dreary. No matter. I’m just enjoying a little downtime with my husband before things get crazy again. They always do.
At the finish in Belfast, Maine.
