Team Defibrillated Bacon!  Great job this year and a 5th place finish in the 911 co-ed category!  We completed the race in about 5 1/2 hours biked on some fantastic mountain bike trails, got a little scratched and muddy, went waist deep in a swamp, had to tough out a few leg cramps and some minor complaining by the Courty's in the canoe.  We didn't get lost, helped a few people along the way and crossed the finish line with a smile on our face!  Great day!

I loaded the girls and my mountain bike in the truck today a drove to London for an afternoon of mountain biking with Chris.  Claire and Ava were super pumped to be able to hang out with Zack and Tora again and I was just happy to be out on the trails.  Chris and I decided to ride from their place and met up with Amy at Boler.  Luckily she had her truck with her because Chris broke his chain halfway through the ride.  Even though the ride was cut short, it still felt good to be out!  Thank you Barb for allowing it to happen!!

My first mountain bike ride of the season!!  It was a beautiful day today and I loaded up my bike and headed to Boler for a few laps.  It has also been 4 months today without my Dad.  Riding the trails has always been a huge stress relief for me and I have been looking forward to getting out on the dirt again for awhile.  It is there where I don't have to think about anything other than my ride.  Making it up the next steep hill, a specific line to ride, seeing how fast I can get through the twisty sections and down the downhills without launching myself off my bike.  Not a care in the world, just me, the fresh air and nature.  Ahhhhh!
