Take this as your ~~Happy Holiday Weekend thread~~

What's everyone have on tap for the holiday? I'm debating about whether or not to take my kids to see fireworks - they are 6 and 3, so staying up to 10:30 for fireworks will make them tired and crabby for a couple of days. We'll probably go, they love fireworks.

Saturday I have my first sprint tri - can't wait.

Sunday I should be little more than a bump on a log.

Friday is my little girl's first birthday so we have some familiy and friends coming in for the weekend. We're going to have a BBQ/B-day party Friday and don't really have other plans for the remainder of the weekend.

I'm also doing a tri, but not till the 12th. Let us know how it goes.

Pulling up carpet and working on the hardwood floor underneath. I'll love the finished product but doing it will suck.

Going backpacking for a few nights on the Ice Age Trail. When people flock to the city we like like to flock to the woods.

We are gonna stay home and do something called "nesting."
Its where every sentence out of my wife's mouth starts with
"We need to" which translates into Jeremy needs to..........

Its gonna be about as fun as rubbing gasoline on my taint and holding a roman candle under it.

Probably going to ride in the morning...maybe go to the zoo...the city is putting on a concert downtown, but the fireworks aren't until 10pm (little late for the rugrats)...we climbed up on the roof last year and had a decent view... maybe we'll do that again.

Saturday and Sunday maybe head to the pool. Might try for a ride on Sunday morning before the pool.

Staying put. Trying to not spend $$ on gas, no where we really want to go anyways. Kid leaves for Scout camp Sunday so he and I will probably get some riding in tomorrow and Saturday. Several grilling episodes and sampling of fine beer from my chair.

Happy 4th y'all.

No major plans, just hanging out. Need to throw a new tire on the bike before tomorrow morning,.

Will probably will do some swimming, cruising around in the new ride, and go out in search of a fireworks display. With temps forecast for 110 + the entire weekend all my activities will be relegated to dawn or after dark.

Have a good weekend all.

Road ride tomorrow (~70 miles) up to Seneca Lake and possibly pass by the Watkins track and see what's going on for the Indy race. Then spend the afternoon/evening out on a friends boat and hopefully catch the fireworks from the water. Will be taking along a growler or two from Horseheads Brewery.

Saturday will be a local mountain ride and some trail maintenance. Lather, rinse, repeat for Sunday.

don't make me kick your ass
Tonight we're heading up to my parents in Mass for fireworks. Tomorrow is ride my former local forest (Foxboro), then up to her Uncle's for grilling and swimming. Saturday is a ride at either Boulderland or Vietnam and Sunday should be what we didn't ride on Saturday.

since my 4th of July "Vacation" technically started an hour ago...

I'm going to go saw off the grout in the shower, apply new grout, etc.
Saturday or Sunday I'm going paintballing.
Tomorrow (the 4th), there's a fat block party and I am so there. It's on my block, too, so major score.

Other than that, probably cycling and hanging out with friends.
