Ninja Ride Through Yarnell

First of all this post is long overdue!  The first perfect weekend in Arizona means time to go riding! I really haven't had a chance to ride my motorcycle since I got it fixed in November, so I was overdue for a good ride! A few of us met up at In-N-Out Burger filled our bellies, gassed up the bikes and road off. It was one of the longest rides I have so far been on, we were 1/4 the way to Vegas (I think that will be our next trip). It was smooth riding till we hit some construction which lead to an entire lane blocked off on a two lane road. So we had to wait for the oncoming traffic line to pass before it was our turn. (Perfect photo opportunity)  After about 2 hrs of riding we were on a mission to find a place to stop for some grub. We stopped at a few different cafés but most of them shut down shop at 2:00pm. Determined to fill our growling bellies we finally found the T-Bird Café, a cute little pizza diner!   The view outside of the T-Bird Café . And the vie

I love to trying new things, especially when a workout is involved! I decided it was time to give aerial yoga a try. Yes, the yoga where you hang in various poses from the ceiling in silks. Great for someone who wants a bit of a challenge and to achieve a deeper stretch. The class I took was called Fly Yoga, great for both beginners and advanced yogis! The studio only accepts donations so it is as affordable as you want it to be! Everyone grabs a mat and places it under a hanging silk that is the correct height for each individual. For the first half hour it is the basic yoga but with added difficulty, for example having one leg in the silk while holding a suspended plank or side plank then pull it up to a pike. (I enjoyed the challenge).   Next you get to fly!! I dove right in trusting the silks wouldn't let me fall as long as I followed the instructor. (A bit of advice do not eat too much before you try aerial yoga, it can get ugly.) We did some upside down abs, splits, flying
