Having some fun and getting ready for racing...

Not only have I been a part of Rueben's birthday party, I was also a part of Andrew's birthday party, it was a full weekend! It was so much fun to be a part of the family and join in the fun:) Thank you to the Holyoake family, you are amazing, wonderful people.  That's the beauty of cycling and this lifestyle.

In the past week, I've enjoyed some wonderful rides, getting a small grasp on the 'left hand side of the road' thing and enjoyed a day trip to London and an interview with Cyclist magazine.  I've enjoyed learning some history of Norfolk.

Next up is the Tour of Britain, May 7th - May 12th, then back to the states.

Photos...
 Blickling Hall, where Anne Boleyn was born.  That was beautiful!
 The 'lanes' that we ride....
 It was an air force base, then a UFO base. No joke! I got a little nervous for a minute and then I was told it's no longer in use....
 Pepper the sweet cat....
 The pub for Andrew's party....

 An easier way to get around town!

 I loved the flowers and plants on top...
 The Post Office tower, it's no longer open to the public.
 Buckingham Palace, the queen was in!! The flag is flying...

 Back in Norfolk, the coastline is beautiful even in the clouds....
 One of the many military cemeteries....
The chapel in the cemetery.  So much history here!

This has been such an amazing adventure, I'm so thankful to get to experience parts of the worlds this way....
