Computer Down

So I have this awesome pic of Mara riding her bike down the sidewalk with me behind her on my new 29er. Stacey took the pic with her SLR, so the quality is excellent. Only thing is my PC at home took a dump. So until I get that fixed or replaced, I won't be posting any pics.

I took friday off to watch the kids while the babysitter took the day off. It was a beautiful day outside. Stacey's cousin Melissa came over for an hour or so to help me out while I did some yard work. After that I took the kids out to Palisades for a picnic. They loved running around and eating off of a dirty picnic table. I didn't bring a table cloth, but I wiped it off pretty good with baby wipes. While they were eating, I was laughing to myself about how Stacey, her mom, and my mom would be beside themselves if they saw this.

Saturday and Sunday were to be days of trail maintenence and riding. Mother nature had a different plan. Not only that, it seems that after RAGBRAI and towards the end of the racing season, nobody rides for fun anymore. Since there are no more objectives, there is no riding just for the fun of it. Either that, or they're burned out. Crazy. So I spent most of the weekend by myself with my dog. I got a lot of trail maintenence done at Sugarbottom and at Beverly, and quite a few things done at home. At least it was relaxing.
