It was Back to School Night at Ridgeway Elementary. Because John is at the last campout for Camp Mudd, I took his supplies and got all the paperwork completed. There are only five days of summer left…
Schedule Pick-up Night
It was schedule pick-up night at West Middle School for our seventh grader. New locker, new classes, and old and new friends!
School Supplies
It is school supply time again. How did the summer go by so fast?!?
Hello, Toad!
We found this little guy in one of our front plants. He was not particularly happy to get wet when we watered the plant…
Home We Go
Copper Triangle
Today is the Copper Triangle Ride – 80 miles over three mountain passes. The team met at the start line at 7 am for a team picture.
After the picture, everyone finished gearing up. Because it was only about 35 degrees outside, Andy wore his full-fingered gloves and vest. He and Lauren had a hard time zipping their vests because of the gloves, so their personal SAG support stepped into assist.
After everyone was geared up, it was off for the ride.
Andy texted me pictures as they completed parts of the ride. First was Fremont Pass.
Second was Tennessee Pass.
The final – and the most difficult – was Vail Pass. The reward for conquering Vail Pass is a quick decent and the finish line where I met Andy and the others for a congratulatory beer. I am so proud of Andy!
We spent the rest of the evening enjoying homemade spaghetti and teammate time in our condo. It was a great way to end our Colorado vacation.
Friday
While Andy went to brunch with the team and took a ride in the cold rain…
…I did my own thing. I was supposed to be with the team, but had bike fit issues. Two miles in and my butt was numb. Seat adjustments apparently were not right. After I turned around and then figured out to just sit a lot farther back and ride slower, I ended up riding 14 miles and enjoying the beautiful views.
After showers and lunch with some team members, we spent the evening in Breckenridge with some of our baseball family. It was great that they were vacationing there too! It’s a small world.
Tomorrow is Copper Triangle.
