After two 'practice' bike rides in the last week, Peter came over today to really 'baptize' Thijs and his bike.
The weather was nice, about 25 degrees C, although they did have a shower, some thunder and headwind!
This is the route they took (slightly longer than planned). Thijs did well, although the are some complaints about sore shoulders :) (the legs and butt will probably follow tomorrow!)
This is what Dubai looked like this morning. Makes me feel a bit 'homesick'
Thanks Ingrid, for sharing!
Floortje made the self portrait below at school with small pieces of paper. I really like it and recognized it immediately as she has put the same orange hairband on the portrait as she has been wearing for the last four months. Sweet!
Thijs had promised the girls a lunch at his work for while now. Since they had a day off today they figured it was time for Thijs to keep his promise!
They chose a sushi lunch (we didn't complain!) and after this a trip to Thijs' office had to be made.
Nice views from the 9th floor towards Katy.
The girls left Thijs a little reminder of their visit :)
Thijs has set himself a new goal. Every year in April there is a two day bike race from Houston to Austin, the BP MS150. It is a 180 mile race over two days to raise money for multiple sclerosis.
Of course a bike and gear was needed. Everything sorted now so no more excuses :)
Go Thijs! This story will be continued.....
