Jack, Skye, and Chase






After Mom and Dad were done racing the kids were able to get out on the course and give it a shot.  

Boulder Short Track Race

Boulder short track, aka, 25 minutes of suffering in the heat and dust.  Sounds like fun!!!  It is... once it is over.
Doug and Dan at the start of the Men's B race.

Dan followed by Doug.  Doug finished well but still haven't seen the official results.

Lisa at the start of the Women's A race.  I was able to pull off a seventh place.

We spent the weekend in Winter Park participating in the Super Loop race.  The course was 18 miles long with 2600ft of climbing.  Congratulations to Ashley Hudson for completing her first Colorado mountain bike race.  It was a doozy. 
Jack brought his bike as well and spent the day riding around, playing with friends, jumping on the trampoline, and riding the alpine slide.

June 22, 2008. Hiking the Snodgrass trail in Crested Butte

A perfect Colorado day.  The Aspen groves were amazing and Jack was very taken with all the wildflowers.






Wildflower Rush - Crested Butte MTB Race



We had a great time racing in Crested Butte.  The course was fast and fun.

Whew!!!  I feel good.  I only had to do two laps!!!
Pro Women's Field.  It is truly a delight to race with these ladies!!!

Crested Butte, June 20 2008

Mt. Crested Butte.  We were joined by both sets of grandparents for a lovely long weekend in Crested Butte.  Doug and I raced on Saturday and while we were racing my dad hiked to the saddle.  Way to go Papa!!!

June afternoons are often spent riding various wheeled toys in the cul-de-sac.
