This weekend was pretty low-key for us. After a week of doing nothing but working and then coming home to study, I was in the mood to do nothing. I only have a couple weeks left until this semester is over and I cannot wait. Anyway, since I no longer have the ability to sleep in, even on the weekends, Matt and I woke up bright and early, loaded our bicycles in the back of Matt's truck and drove out to the Green Way. It's a walking/running/biking path in Clarksville and is super nice. There are two starting points that lead to Path B, and Path C. We are still wondering where Path A was.... Leave it to Clarksville to not even start at the beginning of the alphabet when they label things.... Anyway, Path B was 2 miles one way, and Path C was 2.6 miles one way. Being that we had never been there before, we flipped a mental coin and headed off down Path C. It was a pretty overcast Saturday morning, and along with the amazing trees that covered the paths, it was a nice and cool ride..... Until, we came face to face with the hills... Which should be renamed as steep mountains. Going downhill on a bike is super fun. Going uphill on a bike sucks. These "hills" were a 15% grade downhill... I'm pretty sure that when you ventured uphill that number increased to 50%. I had to get off my bike and walk it up the "hill" as there was no way my legs were going to pedal with the super power forces required in making it up the krypotonite "hills." They were so long and steep I had no chance at all. We each successfully made it down and up the first "hill." Thats right, I said FIRST "hill." There was another, STEEPER one a ways down. We successfully scaled that one as well, and even received a compliment from a walker we passed, who said "Wow! I'm so impressed you made it up that on a bike!" Little did she know, we walked the crap up that "hill!" And we didn't bother to tell her we didn't ride the bikes up it. Ignorance is bliss, right? The rest of the ride was smooth sailing. We saw one man running in bare feet. What a dedicated runner! We turned around at the stopping point and made our way back. We conquered each "hill" once again and completed our first adventure at Clarksville's Green Way.
After leaving the Green Way, we went to Get Some Coffee. Not only did we get some coffee, but we got it at my new favorite coffee shop, called, Get Some Coffee. They have the best latte's! Around noon, I headed over to my friend Crystal's house, and she and I drove out to Guthrie Kentucky, to a small amish bakery called Schlabach's bakery. I now know what Heaven must smell like. This very small bakery, had some of the yummiest smelling and yummiest looking treats EVER! They had cinnamon rolls, honey, jelly and jams. They had donuts, pies, cakes and granola. They also had homemade oatmeal cream pies! Oatmeal cream pies, and iced oatmeal cookies are my absolute favorite cookie ever! Sadly, I didn't purchase one since Matt and I were starting a new diet, today (which will be discussed in later posts) but I did purchase some seedless strawberry jelly! I can't wait to eventually get to use it!
Sunday, I cleaned house and Matt mowed the lawn and left me for a couple hours to go out and cruise on his sport hog. One day, when I'm not shackled at home cleaning, I'll get to go with him... (for anyone reading this that can't sense the sarcasm, I was totally joking... Matt lets me out of my shackles when I clean)
That's all for now! Be back soon!
