Musical Monday . . . I want to ride my bicycle

26 Apr

So, this week’s Musical Monday is Queen’s infamous Bicycle Race.

The reason?

In an attempt to bring us closer together, the hubby and I thought we should do more things together.  So, he bought me a bike.  And, not just any bike.  An amazing bike.  Black, Chic. Shiny. Sexy.  So, I did what any new cycling chick would do and picked out a cute outfit to sit atop it! 

So, we dropped the kids off with Grandma on Sunday morning and headed to a local nature preserve that has a nice paved bike trail meandering through it.  Picture acres of undisturbed wetlands, natural hammock preserves with nature all around and I think you’ll agree it was a pretty easy 13 miles round-trip bike ride.

Except for that one time when we were warned there was diamondback rattlesnake just 75 yards ahead which caused me jump every time I heard the slightest rustle in those beautiful wetlands!

Oh yeah and that one time my arms and wrists fell asleep causing me to think I must have the worst case of carpal tunnel syndrome till the hubby told me that was normal.

Oh, it was lovely  . . . flying by on my bike with butterflies and dragonflies chasing me. 

And, then my butt fell asleep . . . yeah, literally! 

And then I needed the bathroom, but of course we were in the middle of nowhere!

We made it back without me wetting myself, but then couldn’t find the car park!  The hubster has the worst sense of direction, so thanks to yours truly we finally made it to our car and went back to my mum’s where we were greeted with a huge breakfast worthy of a chick who had just completed a 13-mile bike ride!

Honestly, we did enjoy ourselves and I can’t wait to get back out there next weekend.
