Times running out!!

Our trip to Southampton was a wet one but we stayed dry and toasty. That was after Holly bought a new rain coat. You know you want one of our hats!!!!
One has to have at least one trip to the Holyrood Store for one of their huge ice cream cones. Except for a few residences, the store is the only thing there, and it has everything you could be looking for.
We couldn't resist checking out what was under this piper's kilt. This is at the Ripley Lion's Park where there are statues carved out of trees.


Well, our training is winding down!! We experienced a rainy day ride to Southampton on June 8th but since the forecast was indicating an 80% chance of rain, we packed our raingear and 30k into the ride, we had to put it on. That ride was a 108k trip. Of course shopping was fitted into our ride at Thorncrest Outfitters in Southampton and Marten's Cycle and Tim Horton stops for coffee or tea and bagels. Two great stores. Anyways, the rides since then have been shorter with the last one this coming Thursday. Then we concentrate on packing our bikes, camping gear and clothes and head to London for overnight Sunday and catch our flight Monday morning at 1000 to Vancouver. The last two weeks have really flown by quickly! So, till you hear from us, remember, "Life is Good" Terri ( Theresa)
