May 10 - Mother's Day

What a gorgeous day. Karen, Mitch and I celebrated Mother's Day on Saturday instead of Sunday. The weather was shaping up to be better on Saturday and Karen wanted to do something outdoors. After a big breakfast, we packed up the bikes and headed to the lakeshore. We planted Mitchell's car in Grand Haven and then went south to Holland to start our ride. We parked the truck at Holland State park and took a liesurly ride up Lakeshore Drive to the the riverfront at Grand Haven. There, we had pronto pups and a picnic lunch along the river. Once we rested after lunch, Karen got in the car we had planted there and headed back to Holland. Mitch and I got back on our bikes and headed back to Holland. Not such a liesurely pace back. We averaged 19.1 mph for the 23 miles back. Karen was pooped after her 23 mile ride to Grand Haven. Once back home, I grilled steak kabobs for dinner (Karen's choice). Great day.
