it's been awhile...

Our friend, Eric, took us on a nice bike ride yesterday.  It was a perfectly clear day for a ride with long distance views.  Which we had lots of, but none of the pics I took did it any justice.  What you don't see in this picture is Mat changing his 3rd flat in 2 days.  He's back behind me.  Eric went off this jump while I tried to capture it.  (Mat had two flats on his ride the day before with Eric, so he's now a pro at fixing a flat.)

We've been enjoying some wintery weather out here to get us acclimated to our trip out to Utah!  It's been chilly w/ a tad bit of snow...just enough to cancel work Friday morning until noon.

Thanks to mapmyride.com and google earth we could check out the ride we did.

The leaves are turning right now, so it's a bit more colorful!  As you can see in the below pictures.

Mat is riding the log...he has a much better sense of balance than I!  It was a fun day with beautiful weather and mellow riding, except for the last half hour of downhill.
