We signed up, not knowing what we were getting into.  We were chased, we climbs walls, we ran up and down hills, we waded through muddy water, we went down a huge slide (that I completely froze at the top of…holy h*ll that was a long ways up, and….we were electrocuted.  That’s right…..electrocuted!!!!!!)  But….we had a blast!!!!

This is an annual event in West Omaha.  We’d never been able to make it….but made a point of doing it last summer.   The boys, Mot and I went together….and happened to run into my sister and family while there.

The problem with catching up on old blog posting, is when I can’t remember the name of the winery.  🙂

Mot and and I went out with Steve and mom for a night in the small Omaha community of Dundee.  There’s an old movie theater that plays independent movies we frequent, a great burger place, and a marvelous frozen dessert establishment.

July 2012 Weaver-Palooza

We were fortunate enough to be visited by Mot’s middle brother for a number of days in July 2012.

There were kids running around….good food….and, of course, what would Weaver Pa-looza be without firearms.  Lots and lots of firearms.  🙂

BRAN 2012

Posted by yoganej on January 18, 2014
Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: BRAN. Leave a comment

I’ve started (and started and started and started) to write a blog post for our BRAN trip in 2012.  BRAN (Bike Ride Across Nebraska) 2012 ended up failure….actually, it started in failure as well.

I mean, who decides to ride for one full week, across the state of Nebraska, without training for it?

No. Training. At. All.

Yep, Mot and Nej.  (sigh)

I’ll give you a brief run down of the trip, then let some pictures do the talking.

Day 1:  the longest day….over 70 miles.  (my longest ride ever in my life was just over 30…and I was miserable all but 2 miles of the 30….so 70+ was a little ridiculous, even in my book)  I got dehydrated to the point of a complete mental breakdown.  On.Day.One. for crying out loud.  The temperature was over 100, we’re in the middle of Nebraska where they don’t believe in trees, it’s windier than h*ll, I’m so pale you can’t tell the difference between my legs and the white socks I’m wearing……and we’re out on bikes.  I did not pee once the entire day….and I was drinking water like crazy.  That’s how dehydrated I started out.

Day 2:  The hilliest day of the week.  After hill 2, I caught a shuttle to the camp town.

Day 3:  20 miles left, and I called it.  No, I didn’t call the day, I called the entire trip.  What the heck were we doing out there?  🙂

Day 4-7:  Margaritas, camper, lake town in Northern Iowa.

Yep, our bestest buddy in the world, Danny, came and picked us up and took us back to Omaha, where we promptly packed our bags and headed to Lake Okoboji to finish the week.  We had a great time for one day, then spent the rest of it staring at each other bored.  Ha!  Talk about one extreme to the other.  (LOL!!!)
