Keenland Horse Racing, Apr 23

Horse racing at its finest! We made a few little bets and walked away a few dollars poorer, but had a nice time. It was unseasonably cold though... I would have liked to stay longer but the weather was chilly and I had to get to Ft Campbell for work the next day. It was probably for the best or we may have been temped to make a few more bets and end up more than just a few dollars poorer.

Ireland, Day 4, Jun 18

Image
Day 4 in Ireland was day 2 of riding. We did 27 miles and 1200 feet of climbing. Most of it was on a main road, which I wasn't crazy about. Vinny was with us for most of the ride, but I felt terrible that she had to ride that urban bike when we were all on road bikes.  The group at ride start. Lots of beautiful old churches surrounded by flowers. Amazing scenery. Unfortunately, this was taken when we were stopped to catch our breath from a long fast run on a busy road. The car drivers were very courteous, but they were still cars passing us constantly, and I hate that. I was after the relaxing country roads. Us at the end point.

The cycling group that is going to Ireland together did a ride from Irish 31 (an Irish pub). They slowed the ride down for me and maybe another member, but probably mostly me. We rode 29 miles and I was beat! After we had lunch and a shot of whiskey 😋

Kayaking from Juniper Springs, Aug 23

Image
Went with El, Diane, and five of Diane's friends on a kayak trip from Juniper Springs. The current was really moving (we even found a little white water), but it was tight!! Definitely needed paddling skills to get around the logs and branches. We saw three alligators and a bunch of turtles. It was a fun day out even if it was tough staying out of the trees. El said many times, "one and done", and I have to agree with her. There are much better places to paddle in central FL.
