I have a new obsession. It's called the Savannah SlowRide.
Um..what is NOT to love about a ginormous 15 person bike with a bar down the middle? NOTHING. Nothing, I tell you.
Note: There is totally a "tour guide" steering and braking in the middle.
I have never laughed so hard in my life.
We had enough ladies to fill up 2 slow rides.
Before we started, they made us sign a waiver saying we refused helmets.I kept telling everyone that I was going to wear Harper's princess helmet and pads.
I knew for sure that I had to take a helmet photo. This is when the uncontrollable laughing started.
We rode around Savannah hot spots and bars and sampled cocktails.
A friend of mine plugged her iPhone into the slow ride and we were jamming and pedaling and drinking and laughing.
Dance party on wheels.
At stop lights and outside restaurants EVERYONE was staring. Which made us laugh even harder. Pretty sure I almost fell off a few times.
And yes, my rear was sore for about 2 days. Pretty comparable to a spin class. Riding on a bike for 2 hours is OUCHIE. Hahah!
I also discovered my new favorite cocktail:
Basil Lemonade from Jen's and Friends.I cannot even put into words how delicious this drink is. If you come to Savannah, you must stop there and have a basil lemonade.
We ended up at McDonough's doing karaoke...but that's another story for another day. Or possible another lifetime. HA!
I give the SlowRide experience two thumbs up. If you come to Sav and want to combine a tour with a sampling of the night life, you HAVE to do this.
Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!

That sound s like the best fun ever. Did you forget you can have such fun outside the world of children? Laughter & friendship is the best medicine! X

If I ever make it to Savannah, I'm so doing that. Looks like tons of fun. I'll have to work on a basil lemonade concoction this summer. Sounds yummy. I planted basil mint in my herb garden this year (a mint plant with a basil flavor). That might be really delish in it.

That looks so fun! And the drink sounds delish. My favorite summer drink is Finlandia Grapefruit Vodka, with sweet and sour and tonic water. Although I dont typically wear a helmet whilst drinking it ;)

Ha! Went to Malta last week with 27 16-year-olds. Your trip reminds me of a jeep ride we had, I felt like a dog hanging out of a fancy car window on a summer's day! live life to the max, at least at these few moments that you're you and not someone's mum or whatever!
Posted by: kate | 06/12/2012 at 04:33 PM
no cocktails involved though, just fun and laughter
Posted by: kate | 06/12/2012 at 04:33 PM

Pedal Pub here in the Twin Cities, MN. I've been once and it was so fun! Something about pedaling and drinking. Great time!
Posted by: Jennifer | 06/13/2012 at 01:23 PM
That sounds SO FUN! I wonder if we have something like that around here.

That is the coolest thing evah!!! Somehow I'm not sure it would translate well in NY but I'd like to try!!! The helmet pic is hilarious!
