Great Weather Weekend

Saturday was the 7th Annual Ford Law Office Time Trial bike ride around the lake, followed by the family poker ride.  The temp was in the upper 50’s, but the initial ride around the lake was very windy, making for a challenging ride in the open.  It was a very good day to be outside though.

Participants are lining up for final instructions prior to starting.  Sarah and I went out for a bike ride earlier today, and the winds were very calm today.  It made for a very enjoyable, comfortable ride today after  racing yesterday.  See how the weather holds out for the coming week.  Enjoy!

▪ 1 oz meatball—size of a golf ball
▪ 3 oz cooked fish, poultry, or meat—size of a deck of cards, the palm of your hand, or a checkbook
▪ 1 oz cheese—size of a lipstick tube or thumb
▪ 1 Tbsp peanut butter—size of the tip of your thumb
▪ 2 Tbsp peanut butter—size of a golf ball 
▪ 1 medium piece of fruit—size of a baseball
▪ 1 medium bagel—size of a hockey puck
▪ 1 C dry cereal—a mounded handful
▪ 1 oz cheese—size of four dice 
▪ 2 oz cheese—size of a pair of dominos
▪ 1 small baked potato—size of a computer mouse
▪ 1 C raw vegetables, yogurt, or sliced fruit—as much as would fit into an average woman’s hand
