For the 2nd year in a row, Chuck and I participated in Bike the Big Easy. The bike ride around the city is a great event and a great way to see some homes and areas you wouldn’t normally be able to pay attention to in your car. The bonus calorie burn was a good thing, especially with the wedding just 3 months away!
One of the highlights of the event was seeing so many families participate. I love the range of ages and range of bikes riding down St. Charles Ave. on a Saturday morning. However, the one drawback to the event was the unseasonable humidity. I was a sweaty mess at the end of the 20 mile ride.
The event gives you two options: a 20 mile ride or a 40. There are a lot of people who did the 40 and loved it. I was very proud to make it the 20 miles!
All in all, it was a great way to start off the morning, even if the alarm was super early. I would encourage anyone who is in NOLA next October to sign up for this event.
