Romantic Date on a Bike: The Pinnacle.
Oct. 4th, 2010 04:19 pmThe weekend was riddled with success; Collingwood won the Grand Final (it was considered a success in my household, please don't hold it against me), Merlin and Supernatural were both very good, Jacinta's birthday party was fun and Oktober Fest at work provided me with some great pretzels. The greatest success, however, is awarded to cycling to a date at 2 Fat Indians in a little black dress and little red heels. This is the first time I have ridden on the road through round abouts and in Glory pedestrian traffic in heels and I have to say, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I am proud of my success and Mark seems to think that being able to ride out in stunning clothes on a date is living the dream. There's nowhere to go after this it seems. I'll upload a picture that he took of me with my bike and you can judge for yourselves! Maybe
The cycling Road Championships were on and I watched the last hour and a half. It was pretty good. I won't bore you all with the details, but let's just say it was a close finish and exciting at the time. An Australian picked up the bronze which is great considering this year the Championships were held in Geelong.
Work on the separate blog space has continued with a couple of hours of trying to hunt down appropriate icons to use. Would you believe that people photograph the most stunning things for stock icons but not bikes? It's amazing! Yes I am geek speaking, I am sorry. But I did find one of the Supernatural boys on a hilarious tandem bike, one of a couple of the Skins girls riding, an Ellen Page one and a Flight of the Concords one. Until I can get to making my own these will serve me well I think. I also found an amazing Ellen Page wallpaper which I will mess around with in the days to come.
In Pin Pals news, tonight is a Pin Pals dinner which will be nice, and Angela's boyfriend has designed cool Pin Pals shirts using the Marylin picture in the Star Lady Pin Ups folder. It's looking super cute and hopefully there will be an example of one by the end of the week. We also have a movie event which will be nice depending on what is happening with One Movement Festival.
I wonder, since I have now ridden to places such as training, concerts and dates during this challenge, if I should be setting myself other goals of places to take my bike...
While I ponder this conundrum, please check out the days Star Lady Pin Up, Miss Kelly Brook. I has no idea who she is really, aside from being an actress, but she has some serious style and seriously rides her bike in MASSIVE heels. I feel this is in keeping with my story about lovely dresses and riding in heels (though I could never ride in those) and so one of her many incredible shots will be uploaded momentarily.
Hopefully pictures from dinner will go up tomorrow, depending on if my batteries die. Fingers crossed!
