On St. Patrick's Day afternoon, we dressed up in about as much green as we could find in our closets, hopped on our bikes, and rode up to Buffalo Park for the Lap the Leprechaun run. Don't ask me too many details about it. Getting dressed in green and hopping on our bikes took a lot longer than expected, so eventually Karl and Noah took off taking the short-cut while I had to tow Max on the trail-a-bike and our double Chariot with his bike in it down and then back up the hill. Needless to say: Max and I got there late.
I was hoping to take the fast way so we could catch up with everyone but Max insisted on doing the entire loop, stopping at every exercise station, and getting in the best workout possible. I wasn't about to convince him otherwise, although it was Sunday after all...
Noah and Karl were making good time until Noah got a side ache and needed to slow down. They eventually came back looking for us and we finished the loop together. At which point the 'festivities' were over but we had had a great Sunday afternoon and enjoyed cruising back down the hill toward home.
I didn't quite lap the Leprechaun but we did pass him at one point. Of course, Max wanted nothing to do with him but I stopped to get a picture.
Thank you, NATRA and Neil Weintraub, for this fun St. Patrick's Day tradition!
We will be back next time and hopefully a little earlier...
