The fun: (Laurie and Ben – thanks for loaning us Nicholas’ pimp kicks!)

The funny: (ok, I’m not really THAT big – but thanks mr. wide-angle lens!)

and the self-portraits – also brought to you by mr. wide-angle lens: (LOVE the shoes in the top one!)

Good thing Oliver is such an accomplished cycling photographer! He made me look FAST – but trust me, I wasn’t!

BTW, this is my new maternity/mat leave/not-racing-anymore bike. It allows me to get on and off without hoisting my leg a mile in the air, and ride without bending over in aggressive racing position. Excellent! For post-baby, it will also take a trailer, doesn’t require special clothes and shoes, and I can run errands on it. Just need a basket!

Here are a bunch of pictures we took up in Bancroft on the long weekend. We braved the mosquitoes, black flies and deer flies (and toads) to get these shots. No mean feat!
