Heron Ride

I went back the next day and took lots of pictures.  Marcia

Next Ride Wed April 23rd

Leane, Vicky, and Julie started early last week since Leane had to get to work.  Pam came late, so thank goodness for cell phones!  We headed out toward Asotin, met up with the heavy equipment on the levy and turned back.  It was glass city everywhere we went!  Thank goodness for Julie and her trusty broom.  It's so witchy looking when she rides with it.  :) 

 

We met up with Marcia and Jennifer and headed downriver.  Leane and Julie turned back at Roosters.  Only a couple more weeks and Leane won't have work getting in the way.  The rest of us continued down to the heron rookery where we saw some herons on their nests and a bunch of cormorants as well.  Then, surprise of all surprises, we had a tailwind to bring us home. 

 

This week we'll again meet at 10:15 for a 10:30 start from the Southway Boat Launch.  Let's hope those snowflakes will soon quit flying.  What kind of April is this anyway?

 

Today I heard of a new lady who is interested in riding.  Her name is Bev Nelson.  Hopefully we'll see you one of these days, Bev.

 

See you all Wednesday!

 

Pam

Five hardy riders showed up for the rather brisk take off on Wed. Leane (she already had 13 miles on her odometer from riding outside!) Julie (she was already warm from her spinning class), Pam, Helen, and a seldom seen soul Tamra E. who had a day off work. Although it was 42 degrees when I left my house it was 51 when I got home. I guess that’s a bit nippy for the guys. Corrie? Lance? Anyway it turned out to be the nicest day of the week.

We had an awesome display of otters in the river playing quite close to the bank. They seemed as curious about us as we were about them. Other then that it was a nice ride up Tammany Creek Rd. Some people head for the rocking chair when they get old, Helen’s just designing a more comfortable bike seat.

Wed Ride March 26th

Lovely ride last week. Vicky, Julie and Tammy tackled the Anatone grade, and Ellen, Jennifer and Pam took the low road up Asotin Creek. Leane had a pre-Crazy Lady start, so turned back at Asotin to head to work. That work thing has just gotta go!

We'll give it another try this week, Southway Boat Ramp at 10:15 for a 10:30 start. Rain is in the forecast, so let's keep our fingers crossed and hopefully we'll be able to dodge the raindrops.

This is only a test.  Don't adjust your set :)

We're up and running

Welcome to the Crazy Lady blog site!

The season is off to a good start -- a little chilly yet, but spring is definitely on its way.

Last week Julie, Leane, Vicky, Tamara, Helen and Pam rode the Evans Road loop and then out to the Asotin ballfields for a beautiful ride. Helen showed up on her new Trek. She always wanted a red bike, and now she's got one!

Kathy's on the mend after some leg surgery, and a few flu bugs are still hanging about with some other members. Hopefully we'll have everyone out on the bikes real soon.

I'll be passing around the chance to do the ride write-up. We all deserve a chance to tell our stories!

Keep those Wednesday's clear on the calendar.
