Cyclocross racing, hot weather, sunshine, bbq at the house, mountain bike ride with good friends. What more could a girl ask for??? It was an amazing weekend. Saturday we slept in and then headed to the Pain on the Peak. A scorching 90 degree cyclocross race. CX is a winter sport for a reason. One hour of pain. In Oregon now, the A women get to race with the men and suffer for 20 minutes longer. Yikes. But it was good to get the first race out of the way and winning $200 and a free pair of Keens just sweetened the deal! Not to mention milkshakes afterwards for a 'recovery' drink.
Tim attempting to lap me. I didn't let him. (remember, he started a few minutes before me.)
MMMM. Recovery drinks.Saturday evening we decided to just grill at home. The gathering grew and it was a really nice evening on the back patio. I really love our house. And for the first time, we slept on the roof top deck. I can't believe it has taken this long, but I guess it is one of the first weekends in nice weather we have been home. It was pretty cool.
Mark & Sarah were visiting from Nebraska. Sampling the crisp. Yummy.
The rest of the crew.
Good night. Sleeping on the roof.Sunday we headed off to what has become the traditional birthday ride. It is Emily's birthday tomorrow, so a group of us went to St. Helen's to do Plains of Abraham and Smith Creek. Weather was nice. Not too hot. Windy on Windy Ridge, go figure. But an awesome day of mountain biking. It may be my last for the season. CX is about to take over.
The girls. Erin, me, Wendy, Emily & Anna.
The best husband ever.
Our friend Tony Torrance few in from Boulder for the birthday ride. I don't think he was disappointed.
