Family Triatholon

Doing this notes style a la Peter Gammons' former Boston Globe column


My family loves to travel and stay active, but that means less time for the must dos around the house.  We were in town this weekend and had some yard work to knock out, but we were going to pack all the fun we could into Saturday.  The yard work would have to wait to Sunday afternoon.

I proposed a family triathlon by hiking, biking, swimming. Here's how our Saturday went:

08:00 - 10:00 Coffee and WNCW's Jazz and Beyond
10:00 - 11:00 Cereal, showers, getting dressed, loading car
11:00 - 11:15 Sunrift Outfitters for new sandals
11:15 - 11:30 Park Hop clue at Gateway Park
11:30 - 13:00 Ceasar's Head State Park.  Overlook, Walk down Devil's Kitchen, Picnic
13:45 - 14:30 Nature Trail hike behind Pisgah Forrest Ranger Station
14:30 - 16:15 Brevard Bike Path with stop for Ice Cream at "Love That Yogurt"
16:30 - 17:30 Swimming and panning for Gold in Davidson River
17:30 - 18:00 Ride around Davidson River Campground picking out Camp Site for our Next Visit

Then rush home, feed the dogs, grab dinner, and hit the hay.

I highly recommend trying some or all of the above activities.


I wrote about the Brevard Bike Bath in August 2011.  Read about it here:
