It was an awesome sunrise that woke Tim up this morning. After a long day in the sun yesterday, we relaxed and took it easy. After a leisurely Cowboy Omelet, we got ready for our respective rides. Sarah and I were going to ride an 11 mile loop called Elk Meadows. [...] After a good night’s sleep, we woke up to another gorgeous day. Our creekside camp was sunny and cool, perfect race weather for the Galena Grinder. Tim ate a big breakfast early and we then rode the ½ mile to the Galena Lodge to check in for the race. On the way, we met [...] We woke up this morning after getting to our roadside camp site at 1 am. I had to be “at work” at 8 so we drove down the hill to Ketchum to a very good coffee shop called Java on 4th. Tim had taken the day off in order to relax and ride the [...] I just read something so cool I had to share it. Matt Moniz is 11 years old from Boulder Colorado. His best friend Sam is 9 and has Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. Sam’s treatment costs $100,000 a year. To raise money for his friend’s therapy, Matt is climbing fourteen 14,000 foot plus Colorado [...] Tonight Tim and I are back on the road. It’s a short road (only about 10 miles from town) but it’s a road none the less. When we got finished with work today, the sun was finally shining on Jackson. We packed up Frank in record time. I even got a compliment from Tom regarding [...] This morning we woke up to another sunny, hot day in St. George. We decided to say goodbye with another run of the Bearclaw/Poppy trail before things got too hot. We packed everything up at the van and then got on our bikes for the 11 mile loop. It was a great ride and [...] It’s Tim and my last day in the desert for our trip, so we decided to fill it with our very favorite activities….starting with sleeping in! By the time we woke up at 8 am, the Green Valley area was busy. Groups were climbing on the cliffs around the van, bikers were getting early rides in before the sun got too hot, and the [...] With 4 more days of traveling to go, Tim and I have gotten into the routine of the road. We wake up and coffee is brewing 5 minutes later. Breakfast follows and then we “shower” with Huggie wipes and are off to our internet location du jour in the Jeep. [...]
Last night we arrived at our last National Park on our Southwestern tour, Zion. Zion has long been one of Tim and my very favorite places. The Park doesn’t allow any cars so it’s peaceful and pristine. It’s an ideal place to ride your bike and enjoy a spectacular area all [...] Today we woke up to the moist air that we were getting used to in the desert. Instead of dry air, sun and sand, we’ve gotten nothing but humidity, rain and mud. We’re starting to wonder if this is a desert at all? We rolled out of our warm sleeping bags and started drying [...] Finally the sun was out. We woke up to a hot, blue sky morning and got ready for a hike. It was a short 3.5 miles to the canyon bottom so we started off at 11:30 at a relaxed pace. We dropped to the valley floor and began to search out Fence Canyon. When we [...] May 24th, 2009 | Category: Daily Life, Everyday, Friends and Family, Outdoors, Travel | Leave a comment
Today Tim and I both got a chance to wish our Mom’s a great Mother’s Day. I caught Mom on her way home from Glenville after celebrating Aunt Mary’s birthday. Tim talked to his Mom this evening. I sent a special Happy (step) Mom’s day wish to Lisa via email. We both don’t get [...] Our little group camping spot at the base of the Book Cliffs began to fill up today. Every spot in the campsite has an occupant and so folks are overflowing. I knew that tomorrow would be busy but today was a surprise. The pleasant part though was the fact that all [...] Monday morning started early at camp. After midnight margaritas, we were up at 6 am making up for a weekend of no work and all play. Tim got the satellite configured and we were internet bound by 7. I was fixing websites and invoicing for the month. By 8 am [...] Yesterday after a rainy finish, the clouds broke just in time for the post-race party. As the sun beamed through, we ate tacos, drank Fat Tire and heard the war stories. While Tim and I had bailed in the rain, some brave souls ventured out. 50 lbs of mud, broken derailers [...] After 4 hours of sleep, Tim and I rolled over in Fruita’s Visitor Center Parking lot to a bright blue sunny day. Despite the short night, we were both refreshed by the warm air. We drove our Frank/Jeep/Bike caravan into town and got a prime spot in between the town’s hopping coffee shop and [...] My apologies to all daily readers for this late posting. There are no excuses, but I have to attribute it to a terrible day of basketball. It began with UNC. Ty Lawson, UNC’s point guard and the ACC player of the year is out with a bruised big toe so we knew the [...] Day 3 of 429apallooza was another blue bird day in Park City. Tim and I woke up to another knock on the window. This morning it was Alex, we had committed to breakfast duty and it was time to get moving. Alex and I ran to the store and 45 minutes [...] Who knew that leftover pizza is the perfect pre-ski breakfast at 6 am. I certainly wouldn’t have guessed until this morning when the alarm went off and Tim immediately jumped out of bed and began microwaving. By 6:15, we were fed, caffeinated and were loading up the car for a dark climb up Glory. 12 [...] |
