Impromptu Bike Marathon

We finally got our bikes ready. I mean someone did for us:) But well, it's worth it if that's somebody else's headache and you just pick it up done.
Opening season for bike rides was late in the evening, work after, with a complete rain waterfall on our heads. 3 min ride from the train station to our home made us wetty&sweaty. Good warm bath made all the cares fade away.
Coming back to the Marathon. Actually, I headed ourselves to Okhotny for a skirt and as my hubs said, why not make a short trip with the bikes in the City Center of Great old Moscow.
And while doing our short trip we felt kind of lonely, 'cause some main streets were empty and BOOOM! thouthands of bikes came across. Like, OH YEAR, what's that and Why we are not making part of it? So we did. For a while. As it was in the opposite direction of our purpuse shopping place, we turned back soon after.
DEF, for the first time I've seen so many people on bikes. I never've seen so many people in a Subway at the same time.So many! What a feeling of belonging to smth HUGE:)
Marvelous DAY!
Love my LOVE and mesmerized by my HAPPY life!

 

  

 

 

Overwhelming dissapointment

Tryin' to gain more space in our flat, we moved our bicycles out of it, to the doorway on our floor, attached with a lock, obviously.
And I was devastated, when I found out in the middle of the night that some *bastards* were tryin' to steal them last night. Damn, I thought those days were over!!! We leave on 17th floor, with a code lock on the main entrance, and still some people were following us to get to those bikes(.
I am still under bad spirits about it. But I am thankfull that they just ran away and noone got injured, except one lock - that was just cut off in two(and it took some time fot them to deal with it and some noise - that's how my husband heard them).
So, here we are back together...again...me, my hubs and our 4 bikes)

Through the time))

All the things

All the things that we never see...never seek ...never wonder.
Happiness is everywhere, joy is every moment, smile is every ray of light.
Our today bike ride was clueless but cheerful.
Flashes in revelation and some new places discovered around our place.

Moscow on bikes

What could we possibly do on a rainy day like this other than recollecting Sunny bike rides.
Dalai Lama advices us to see at least one new place in a year, well, I can do my plan for 10 years all in this summer.
We've got a long trip behind us and I can assure you that Moscow is a nice place to visit on a bike. Dozen of impressive buildings, squares and gardens to see, admire and enjoy.
Love my hubs for giving all that to me (including the bike)...

Moscow City

The Phantom of the Marathon

They say be careful what you wish for, it might come true, but no one really points out that your wish should carefully  be thought of.

All my concerns about Cosmofest 2013 were to get there in time, ‘cause it’s almost an hour trip by train and highway high-speed driving through Moscow.

I’ve asked all the odds to occur as a help only in the way of my wish to be in time.

And we were in time. People were greeting each other, making acquaintances, dressing in the style of universe and nothing really interesting was going on at the moment.

As we woke up late, our breakfast was never a question, so we’ve asked how much time to we have till the bike marathon and having more than 30 min ahead we left for the coffee.

And with that decision we actually finalized our participation in this event, ‘cause when we were back – everyone left. We were late for the startJ

No doubt our pride wouldn’t let us to quit that easily, o we’ve chased the phantom of the marathon for half an hour just through the city, going on intuition, ‘cause our late morning wake up actually advanced our rush – and we forgot the Marathon detailed map as well.

As there were no signs of any other participants, we just took our time and enjoyed our ride. Actually, my hubs did enjoy it, while I was mixing my adrenalin with my patience. Can you imagine being on the bike in a highway for the first time? f Lots o gas from flying nearby carsJ

After all, it was an amazing experience, which has made its way through my veins. So I’m in it now.

Still more speed to conquer and more km to gain on boardJ

P.S. By the way – as per total – we’ve had around 50 km of bike ride – that is a lot of the huge of the ever I have doneJ

And so we ride)

As waiting for spring might take an eternity, we've decided to try my bike anyway)) Nice ride with my hubs, love the bike and the smiles it gives us))

A good note for every family: Try to have at least one common hobby, there isn't any other better love glue than family lought))

Life rides

I fancy the fact that we have a lot of common wishes with my hubs.
 And one of'em is to ride the bikes all over the world...well..this might take an eternity, but at least we can start from nearer places. So my hubs gave me that fantastic bike. And, so that you know, it's not like I'm spilling the beans - but the weather keeps that beauty at home for a few days already and it seems like the further forecast isn't joyful at all.
I've promised towait for better days, but sometimes I cannot help myself.
Stay tuned))
