break

man, when we travel on friday nights it ends up being a long day. between stops for gas and dinner and some construction related traffic, it ended up being a 4 hour trip to the in-laws. but, calving went down well when we got there and we followed shortly after.

saturday morning we got up, got some coffee and breakfast in us and then kitted up for some riding around r's parents house. all these years of going up there and i really haven't done much bike exploration. there are some really nice roads with rolling terrain. the colors made it even better. if there is a better way to start an early fall saturday, i'm not able to think of it right now.

then it was on to the wedding. it was a very nice version of a classic north central wisconsin wedding. it was really nice to see everyone and get to spend some time with my grandmother in between. we decided to drive home saturday night to have a full day on sunday - and i'm glad we did although round midnight i was starting to second guess our decision.

sunday we had a lazy morning, went to the east side trek store to check out the tent sale, got oliver a hair cut and enjoyed each other's company. i got out for a ride at badger prairie and just tried to ride hard although i am not good at replicated anything close to race effort on my own. still, what a glorious day to be outside!

and here i am, back at it.

happy monday.
