Athens Twilight

Yesterday was Athens Twilight Criterium (a 80km bike race around downtown Athens). To celebrate the race (and my birthday...I turn 27 tomorrow!) we had a little party at our house with our closest friends. Unfortunately, it rained - scratch that - PORED all day Saturday! We enjoyed some burgers, hot dogs, and dessert before heading downtown for the races. Of course, we all had to put on some rain gear so we wouldn't get too wet. We got downtown in time to watch the woman's race. It was a lot of fun and it was poring down rain! We saw a few small crashes in the woman's race and one BIG crash. I think there were at least 10 women in a big pile up of bicycles....it was crazy! We caught a few laps of the men's race before we decided to head home. After standing in the rain for a few hours we were all wet...the rain coats only did so much! It was a fun day, even though it rained. Cant wait for Twilight next year!!!
