Kel, Lucy, and Mom cheered me on through a tough day on the race course. I crashed at mile 7, lost a bunch of skin, and picked up numerous bruises to accompany me the next 63 miles to the finish line. I was flying through mile 40, but hit a wall around mile 45 and really slogged through the final 25 miles. It was great to have the family out there cheering me on - they were probably the only reason I finished. I was completely spent. It felt good to finish and provides some fuel for the fire next year.

 

 

 

 

Laramie Enduro Weekend

First Hike

An eventful first hike as I nearly stepped on a 5 foot rattlesnake. Thankfully, Luce and I were spared after Maggie and Kel had already made their way past the snake. Besides the snake, it was a beautiful day in the foothills and Lucy took full advantage of it by sleeping during the entire 3 miles. At least she got some fresh air...

 

 

 

 

Settling In...

Getting into a routine...growing little by little...and taking the time to enjoy all the moments.

Revolving Outfits

In an effort to wear every article of clothing we've received Kel is on a mission to change Lucy 3-4 times a day. A bit of hyperbole, but she does look cute.

Outfits...

Welcoming Lucy to the World!

Update: Added about 10 more photos...check out Lucy in her cycling jersey as she watched le Tour with Dad.

A few photos of the last 4 days with Lucy. We're having a great time, but I don't have much time as the World Cup Final is beginning right about now...

Fall in Crested Butte

I spent the weekend in Crested Butte with Casey and Andy before Case gets married next weekend. We put in a couple of epic rides and had near perfect weather. Reno/Flag/Bear/Deadman and 401 make for an outstanding weekend...

Crested Butte - 5 Year Anniversary

Kel and I made our way to Crested Butte this weekend to celebrate our 5 Year Anniversary. We had a great time. The wildflowers were on full display, the weather was gorgeous, and we had enough to time to relax and operate sans schedule. A few pics below...
