Saw this advertisement at the bike store- thought this was a clever name and logo for a race.
I took my brother's bike (acquired from my parents' house- thanks David!) and my bike into to get a tune-up last week. Actually they probably need more than a tune-up. A full blown welcome to the 21st century is what these bikes need. They're pre-shocks, No-Fear-sticker-covered, Taco-Bell-visiting dinosaurs. The techs (including one of my students, of course) at the bike store seemed very confident that they were up to the challenge. Stopped in today to check on the progress and should be able to get them back tomorrow. Eric and I are looking forward to doing a little bike riding around our neighborhood and hopefully around Chatfield Reservoir. Found a online posting that said the trail around the lake is about 12-13 miles long. (Although now that I'm looking for a specific map of the path, I can't find one. We may need to do a little exploring our first time out.)
In other outdoor adventure news, our tent is going camping this week.
We are not.
Our friend is borrowing the never-been-used wedding present. When Eric and I put this on our gift registry, we had to stop and figure out if we were "camping people" or not. It actually involved quite the lengthy discussion in the sports section of Target. Neither of us had gone camping very often, but we didn't want to rule out any future adventures. If we haven't used our tent after three years, does that indicate that we are not camping people?
And now some of our flowers. (Can you spot the bee in the 2nd photo?)

On all the cleaning shows I've seen, they say if you have clothes in your closet you haven't worn after one year, you should toss them. Not sure what the rule is for sporting equipment :)
I'm interested to hear if it rained on the tent's trip to the woods...we used that exact tent on our St Croix canoe trip last September. It was raining quite nicely and we spent much of the night trying to keep our sleeping bags dry...next time I think we're renting from REI... :)
