I love long weekends!
This one was no exception. It started out with a day of volunteering at the Yaletown Grand Prix, an annual bike race hosted in the city. I was asked to help out with the Cops for Cancer booth, where we were selling wristbands, t-shirts, pins, hamburgers and raffle tickets to help raise money for this year's Tour de Coast. You can learn more about Cops for Cancer here.
Friday evening was a relaxing day at home, as I was a bit cold after spending the entire day outside where it was cool and rainy. The event was a success and the bikers, quite brave if you ask me. It must take quite the skills to race bikes on city streets surrounded by other racers going quite fast and riding only a few inches from each other.
Saturday was another day spent outside, except that this time, it was a pleasure outing at Stanley Park. Actually, I needed to get some kilometers into my walking shoes in preparation for The Weekend to End Breast Cancer and Tucker was nice enough to come along. It was a beautiful day, a bit windy but sunny. We ended our walk with some well-deserved ice cream and brought back some yummy dinner to prepare on the BBQ (I prepared, Tucker cooked).
Today, we woke up and turned on the TV to watch the Formula 1 race in France. Then, we picked up Lara and Charles and headed out to the North Shore to climb Grouse Mountain. This was Lara and Charles' first attempt at the Grind and they did wonderfully well. Can't say the same for myself. More cardio is needed, and on a regular basis, if I want to do more challenging hiking this Summer.
All together, a nice weekend amongst friends and lots of time spent outside. :-)
