Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!  Last night we had our second annual New Year's party.  We welcomed in the New Year with the Stange's (Don, Donna, Kyle and Cory), the Leach family (Raymond, Angel, Alexander, Katherine and Madeline), Mark and Anne and Michelle's sister Dawn, nephew Scott and her boyfriend Reuben (our Pastor).  We had a great time socializing, playing games and the kids ran wild for hours.

We started the New Year by going to church and then most of us went to eat at Wendy's.  Weather started out today at 45 degrees, however it quickly changed as the wind picked up, with rain and then changed to snow.  It was actually feeling like winter.  If you can believe the weatherman that will change in a couple of days.  Just has not been much of a winter yet.  Tomorrow we will be off work and may go to mom and dads.

Dad is scheduled to have a procedure later this week.  He has a Dr appointment on Tuesday to see if he will get cardiac clearance for the procedure.  We are all worried, just not sure he is strong enough.

With the New Year are a lot of things ahead of us.  Trying to decide on what races to do...maybe race with JJ on the tandem at Barry-Roubaix?   It would be a lot of fun if we can work it into our budget and schedule.  Currently working on the tandem to upgrade it to a nine speed.  Maybe get that finished tomorrow also.  After that I am not sure of anything other than Iceman, we need to register on March 1st.  We will do the Slush Cup again.  I will ride the tandem with Brendan and JJ will ride in his age class.  Looking to see what races are on Saturdays so we don't have to miss church.

That is all for now.  Wishing all of you a blessed and Happy New Year!

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic.  This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I.  We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so?  I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out.  I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good.  This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens.  I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59.  I was surprised, but did not protest.  Aft...

It has been a while since an update and the common cold has been working its way through the family.  Michelle and the boys have got the worst of it so far.  It has slowed me down but has not put me down.  Hopefully it won't get me completely.  It did cause Michelle to miss 2 days of work and I missed one.  We both missed Financial Peace University last night, we will have to watch the video.  It has caused me to miss some training. However, I did manage to get on the trainer 2 days this week and hopefully again tomorrow. Dad had a procedure today and all was well.  Had to get up early and pick him up.  He had the procedure at Covenant so I was able to work for a while when he was in.  We went out to lunch afterwards and then had a good visit with him and mom. This winter continues to be mild as we again are having above normal temperatures.  We had snow last night and most of it melted today.  They are call...
