Something for the Road

Taking a Break

After some digging, I decided to take these two on a little ride.  Because I needed more exercise, you know.  I love this bike.  But, we do live in an area with a lot of hills and you’d be amazed at what an extra 100 lbs. will do to your quads.  Nora wasn’t super excited when we started.

 

We stopped off at the school to play and as we were leaving, Nora was overheard saying, “that was fun!.”  These two will be braving High School together.  I have great hopes of them being friends.

My Madsen Cycle

 

I love My Madsen Cycle, although you wouldn’t be able to tell that for how much it has been ridden this Summer.  When I went out to the garage today to search for some things in the last of the unpacked boxes, I looked at my bike and sat on it just for a few moments.  Today it is raining and it is not a good day to load the kids up and go for a ride, but the next time the sun comes out, you’ll find me on the road.

Check out all of the new improvements Madsen has made to their bikes.

Merry Christmas to You

Have you been naughty or nice?  If you have been nice, you deserve a MADSEN Bucket Bike.  We loved playing and and travelling in ours last summer.  Beach trips and family bike rides, trips to the market and the park . . . the possibilities are endless.  My kids were always fighting over who would get to ride, and it was an instant workout for me.

If you order by December 10th, it will arrive by Christmas, fully assembled and ready to go and shipping is free. 

Weekly Madsen Cycle Giveaway

You know how much I love this bike . . . .now Madsen Cycles is giving away one bike a week.  You can have one for your very own instead of drooling over mine.  So, check it out . . . .

Ride – Marathon Training Support Group

I’m so lucky to have my own training support group while I’m trying so diligently to follow my schedule.  It hasn’t been easy, but Mike is HUGE in this endeavor – I don’t think he’d let me quit.

Today was particularly hard because I had to split my long run.  This is my biggest run before the Chelan Marathon.  We had somewhere important to be at 10am this morning, which didn’t leave much daylight to run 22 miles before that time.  So, I ran 16 miles before, came home and showered and dressed up. Then two hours later came home, put on a new set of running clothes and ran 6 more miles in order to meet my training goal. 

When I started getting ready for the second run, Mike knew I needed moral support and so he got out our Precious Cargo Bike, put the kids on their bikes and followed me on my run.  It made all the difference.

           

Jessamyne was the photographer today, thus the interesting shots.  By the way, it was raining – It wasn’t all sweat.

Ride: 4th of July Kids’ Parade

 

What are you Waiting For?

I love this bike.  We have not used the car anywhere in town, yet, this summer.  We ride to the library, the beach, and the park.  I love that we can just take off without any hassle.  Throw the kids and gear into the back, and we’re gone.  I love that.

Have you gotten yours, yet? 

Don’t forget the great giveaway, and if you aren’t chosen, you can still get a good deal by entering CASSI200 when you purchase yours.

See you on the road!

Madsen Cycle Deal

I love my bike – I’m sure you’ve found that to be true if you’re following this blog.  So far, I have used it for trips to the park, the local parade, and on a family bike ride.  I love that I can just take off and go and stuff everything in the bottom.  My kids fight over who is going to ride and they do their special "parade” waves as they pass all of the cars.  If you are interested in buying one, you can order directly on their website and enter code:  CASSI200 for a special deal.  You’ll get $200 off your purchase – that’s more than 15% off. 

Ride: Lost in the 50’s Parade

Our Madsen Cycle was great transportation to the parade – I didn’t have to worry about parking, or kids complaining about walking – loved it!  Lots of people wanted to know about it, and the kids were lining up for rides. . . . but the adults did not want to be left out.  Check it out . . . .

Ride: Arboretum

 

 

 

Another fun ride on our Madsen Cycle. You can read all about their July giveaway on the Madsen Cycle Blog.  And, when you’re ready to purchase your own, just tell them that Cassi referred you  - it might get you a good deal!
