Overnights

7/31/2013

I was disappointed to end July without having accomplished a bike overnight. I had been planning on doing one each month for the year but knew that July was going to be tricky. This is my busiest month with the exchange student program. I had been hoping I could still squeeze in a very short ride but never got to it. The exchange students are wonderful and although it's a crazy time with little downtime, I love it all the same. While I wanted to reach my goal, I'm not about to sacrifice the small amount of sanity I'm retaining. August will put me right back on track.

Instead of dwelling on the lost month, I decided to recap what we've done so far this year.

January: Big Brother and I rode to Chico (day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4)!
February: Sacramento to Ione (day 1 and day 2)!
March: Our group camping trip to Negro Bar!
April: Riding to the local KOA with my mama!
May: Anniversary trip to the Ryde Hotel (day 1 and day 2) and backyard camping!
June: Boys and I rode to Beal's Point!

Even though I am dying for another overnight, it's been a blast running around with all these awesome kiddos. Big Brother and I just spent 4 days in Southern California with them, going to Hollywood, Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Santa Barbara. It was almost an entire week without a single bike ride!

I'm sure we'll make up for it in August. Where shall we go next?
