Thanksgiving Weekend

Last week the temp was in the high 60's when I rode the Flying Dog Trial in Park City with Chris Holley.

Today, the temp was in the upper 30's on the Mormon Trail. Burrrrr.....

What a difference a week makes! Winter is here - time to head south.

It's been a good holiday week with my family coming in from Texas and Michigan. My brother Wille brought his son Little Willie who is a senior in High School and already a world traveler. At 6 foot and 140 pounds, he's a perfect size for a climber. Hopefully we can convince him to get on the saddle and go for it. My sister Robin and her husband Bruno brought my mom with the from Texas and left the bad weather behind. It's always good seeing Robin because she is such a strong person and is just plain nice, like Jane. Maybe that's why I get along with her so well. I think my mom had a good time, but she's getting old and can't communicate very well. Hopefully she'll come back next year and we can repeat the good times again. The only downer was BYU beat Utah 17-10. Damn.....

Happy holidays dude, glad to see that you are still rollin' it outside and aren't committed to Cycleops-Centuries and electro-stim just yet....You gotta post more, I know that you spend most of each working day daydreaming about singletrack and eating recovery supplements, so you might as well do that and type too!

PS- if you are heading out for long, slow Sunday jaunts, keep me in mind and call me at the store....

If I don't head to Moab this weekend, a long slow Sunday will work for me. Cycleops just doesn't sound good to me.

Thanksgiving in Utah was great! Always fun to get together with family and ride in the hills surrounding the valley (in a Pontiac G6!). Willie, my son, must have taken 100 pictures!

Brad's always an inspiration to the kids!

Jamie, our sister, is a great cook. Nice of her family to host The Crew!

And yes I must agree ... our sister Robin and your wife Jane have to be the two strongest and nicest people around ... good people!

Take care bro ... nice blog!
