Day 14: Coastal Cruising



From Diana:
We had amazing weather today.  We took advantage of the fact that we only live a 10-15 minute bike ride to the beach, so we went for a long bike ride along the beach.  We even had the chance to stop for a snack break and lay on a big hill.  It was the perfect Saturday.

A few years ago Adonis asked me to get a bike with him so that we could cruise together.... but I immediately said "HELL TO THE NO" lol.  I'm clumsy as is, now this man wants to mount me on two wheels?? Ha!  That attitude quickly changed after I saw how much fun he had during a very rainy 42 mile NYC Bike Tour.  I decided to support him for the next NYC Bike Tour and got myself a bike and intensely trained two weeks before the big ride (lol -- definitely wasn't enough time).  Now, I love biking! Just another way to do something healthy while having fun.  You should try it.

I couldn't help it, so here are more photos of our afternoon:

  1. Great post. Dakar and I were just talking about bikes the other day. I told him I want a beach cruiser. I'm afraid of anything fancy because I don't want my butt to hurt. LOL But I def want a beach cruiser with a basket :-)
