Lance is going to Camp Chai summer camp. He is outside most of the day playing and singing. He is swimming two times a day, once for lessons (scary) and once for free swim. He get to choose his own electives which include Legos, board games, arts and crafts, or ultimate Frisbee. He loves it.
All of this hot summer fun does play tricks with his blood sugar though. We have had to reduce his morning insulin and slightly increase his carb intake at breakfast to keep from getting low. Lance is good now at recognizing his lows and getting treated when he feels bad. We are optimizing his regimen to keep him from having to miss out on any of the fun. And thanks to Tara, the camp assistance director who administers his shots, Lance has been safe and in good hands.

Collin Classic 2013
I was out of town last year for the Collin Classic Bike Rally. This is a 64 mile rally in McKinney that is weel planned and supported. There were a few changes this year. There was a large riders village to get drinks and browse local bike wares. After the ride there was a band, food trucks, and kid activities. I got there early to set up a make-shift JDRF booth to promote the Ride to Cure.
All of the parking was in the grass so that is where I set up my booth. I got a lot of vehicle traffic but no pedestrian traffic so I do not think that the booth was very productive. Anyways, it did give me a chance to interface with Bikin' Mike (event organizer).
At the start I saw Philip and his buddy. I also saw the JDRF coach and his wife. Another JDRF rider was there but at the front of the pack and I never caught up with him. As I was doing the 64 miler I departed at the 8AM hour with the first group.
The first part was a bit scary. There were two accidents that required an ambulance. I hoped it was not a harbinger of things to come. And it wasn't. I had a good ride. The event is large enough where you can always find a wheel to tag on to. The route was good with some rolling hills mixed in the east part of the route. I rolled in with just under 17 mph average for the 64 miles. I slipped into the Rider's Villiage and grabbed a grilled hamburger (delicious), some ice water, and snagged my free T-shirt. A good ride.
