A Room for Jellybean!

As we wait the arrive of our daugher we have gotten her room ready. While living overseas we feel like we are on an adveneture so we went with an "UP" theme, with two key things we kept in mind.
1) Adventure is out there
2) Never give up

60 miles on a bike!

 This morning Brendan left the house about 4:30 am to ride to the center of Cambridge to catch, as his boss called it, "a cyclist's natural enemy," a bus. The bus took Brendan's company team into London, England. After a long ride on the bus Brendan and countless others began this journey from London back to Cambridge for the  London to Cambridge Bike Ride for the Cure. (Note: it was not a race, there were stops along the way, to encourage cyclists to tune up bikes, enjoy a drink at the local pub, and just enjoy the day.)
By the time Brendan returned to Cambridge he had spent less than 5 hours on the whole ride with stops. Brendan was delighted that he beat his own personal goal he set before the ride.


Given that technology does not always work the way we would like it to, Stephannie missed him crossing the line, as the map system they were using said he was on the other end of town, but here is Brendan post race! Well done!
 

After the ride there was a smoothie station, which was really awesome as it was peddle powered!
Thank you to everyone who supported Brendan and company team!
