8-7-13


 Me: Riding up the old Truckee Creek Road.
 Riding down the old Luther Pass Road
 to Hope Valley; one of our favorite spots.
 Stopped at Hope Valley Pie Shop. Pecan/apricot was delicious! 
 El Dorado Beach.
 We signed up for the Wednesday night paddle board race at El Dorado. We basically found out we are NOT fast. In a field of about 70 I think I came in 65th place. Ugh. Bob was a bit better, more around 55th. Took us about an hour to finish the course (top racers were 30 minutes).
 Had a good time laughing at ourselves. PS: I'm not posting the photo of me nearly taking a 5 year old out trying to beat him to the finish. :-)
Gorgeous night!

Our $35 entry fee got us the board rental, upper body workout, dinner on the beach, and raffle tickets. Bob won a paddle cover. It's really nice, but what will we do with it?

  3. I'm competitive, Karen! :-) Ok, I wouldn't (& didn't) take him out but I gave it my all to barely beat him. :-)
