Philly!!

We left Omaha after a nice ride around the lake Brian's parents live on, and drove till midnight or so through a terrible rain storm where we could hardly see through the windows!  We were staying near the Philly airport at a hotel with a Ruby Tuesday's next door.  We must have eaten at that restaurant 5 times in the 3 days we stayed there!!  Luckily they had good fish :) That was quite the late night as when we arrived, we went straight to dinner.  The next day I got to see STEVE!!! YAY!! It was only for 30 minutes or so, but I miss him and home so much!!  I drove down to Camden NJ to meet steve at the IRA rowing championships where his athletes were racing.  After getting lost in downtown Philly for 45 minutes or so when my Iphone maps stopped working I eventually made it down to the river.  I am REALLY not used to the humidity out here...was sweating the second I got out of the car.  It was really nice being at the event and not working!  JLracing had a booth set up and a friend of mine was working.  Then came the drive home....yet another 45 minutes of being lost with  no GPS and no map.  FUN times!!! Wheres Brian when you need him?!?!?!;D 

Sunday was the race.  We got to the course at 6 and spent 2 hours setting up.  It was quite a jam packed day.  No time to sit down or eat!! I love and hate when that happens....lots of business but also very tired hungry people.  It was very successful for both JLvelo and Spokiz and Peanut Butter and Co Twenty12 as well!! Shelley Evans got second in the women's pro race and Sinead Miller won the U23 jersey as well!  One of the coolest parts of the day was being set up next to the Peanut Butter and Co booth.  We refilled our stores of Cinnamon raison, Maple, White chocolate and regular peanut butter.  Though, its only been 2 days and we've made our way through 2 tubs already!!  We also brought out our new promo shirts for the day and sold 40-50 of them!  I RIDE BIKES TO LOOK GOOD NAKED!!!  People loved it!! 

Monday we checked out of our hotel and moved into a new one in downtown Philly so we could peddle around the city and check out the sites!  We spent several hours biking around the city checking out the murals, parks, waterfront, and saw a totally badass band playing in "LOVE park."  We wanted to keep riding as it was a gorgeous day but crashed out early.  Traveling is getting really hard on both of us.  Were having an AMAZING time and seeing new places, but this much driving is starting to take a bit of a tole.  Cleveland is next!!  Here are some cool pictures from the last few days!!
