Last Few Days

Here is another recap from the last week or so.


I moved into a room in the hotel with a kitchen finally.  Same amount of room, but the kitchen is clutch.  I don't have to eat Jimmy Johns every night like I was.

I got some localish beer (I've had better).


I cooked my first dinner in the hotel room.  Porkchops, asparagus and rice (that was much better than the beer).  The $4 wine was actually really good too.
I dropped the front fork of my bike onto my toe while the front tire was off.  Bled a little. 

I rode the Buckskin-Morgan trail at Kelly Canyon.  Second time with the SRMBC; good time, it was pretty much on the verge of raining all night, so it was a quick one, but fun.

I bought some clipless pedals for my bike (sort of regret it, but can't return them).  I can't my feet out quick enough and just sort of fell over a couple of times.  Definitely going to take some getting used to.

Sunday we did some shuttle runs at Kelly Canyon.  Like 7 of rode down and shuttled back to the top.  We did the upper part of Buckskin (they called it Space Trail I think) and then rode Wolverine down to an awesome valley with the river running through it (I need to take Vanessa to that area).  Then we shuttled up and rode Creek Cross down to the trucks again.  Shorter, but fun as hell too.

PS.  This layout is a mess.  Not sure how to fix. Deal with it.







Chuck and Cara's Wedding

Saturday July 30th was Chuck and Cara's wedding.  It was awesome.  Everything went according to plan, no hiccups, just a blast.  Here are a few pictures from the night.  The first was from the Alexander's photographer who I think did an excellent job.  The 2nd was from the photo booth that they had at the wedding which I also think was run very well.  The pictures are all of the groomsmen and bridesmaids.  I want a pair of those glasses, I look like a 1950s NASA scientist.  Below that is my fiancĂ©, Vanessa, giving me some sugar at the Ugly Oyster which the wedding guests totally took over and shut down.  Good night.  Congrats Chuck and Cara!
