Tennis Grand Opening

dsc_4043web  

This past weekend was all about tennis, as our local association, WFATA, held its Grand Opening to celebrate the addition of four brand-new courts to go along with the existing four, as well as stadium quality lighting.  We had a huge celebration which began Friday night with the ribbon cutting for the new courts; various tennis events all day long Saturday including games and drills for kids and adults, video stroke analysis, racket demos courtesy of Todd from Omega Sports who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful; and culminating in a Mini-Tournament open to all interested on Sunday afternoon.  It was a great weekend of tennis where we reconnected with some old friends and met many new ones, and the new tennis center is really quite beautiful.  We're very excited about all the programs for both kids and adults becoming available this summer and the opportunity to play at such a lovely facility so close by!

On The Road Again…

  Yeah, I know, I know - I keep saying I'm not going to buy another bike and then I go and do it anyway.  Well, yesterday was no exception.  Honestly, we were just "stopping by" the bike shop to say hello and maybe look around for something for Steve.  After all, it was his birthday Thursday.  And yet, here I am out riding my brand new Road Bike this afternoon!  I have to say, though, for my first "real" road ride in probably more than a year, this bike actually made it fun for me again, which is no small feat, considering how difficult cycling has been since the surgery.

  The ride of the Lemond Versailles is very smooth and the bike has a solid, secure feel, while still being plenty snappy and easy handling.  It carves the turns nicely for me and overall is just plain fun!  Zoe and Andy were pretty nonplussed about the whole thing, but Spyder really seemed psyched about the new addition!

Oh and by the way, Steve's new Trek Madone should be here within the next couple of weeks...
