Great Day for a Ride!

So we all met at Island Lake today for a ride.  Everyone showed up as planned and the day was beautiful.  Close to 60 degrees, sunshine and the trail was in great shape.  Kyle had his new race bike from his sponsor CycleFit.  We also learned today that CycleFit will be opening a shop in Saginaw.  JJ was having a hard time so I rode with him for the 10 mile loop.  We finished in just over an hour. JJ was pretty much cooked so when the others got back he stayed at the car and we did another 5 miles.  The new bike rides great.  I have been having an issue with the chain getting hung up by the chainrings.  Not sure if this is a frame design issue or not?  I want to ride it again before I go to a single chain ring in the front.  I really like running a three inch travel fork versus a four inch.  The bike handles much better.  I only took a few photos and I will try to post them tomorrow if they are worth while.  All for now, everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving!

A lighthouse for Michelle.  A mouse in a tuxedo! We got back on the road and stopped at another rest area.   Very cool! Brendan made a friend. The were not to bad. Our next stop would be St. Ignace.  We wanted to eat at Clyde's Drive In.  However, after arriving the place was packed.  So we went to B.C. Pizza again.  After lunch we made our way to Castle Rock as we were not able to climb it on o...

Brendan's Last Birthday Party

So today we had another party for Brendan's Birthday.  We also celebrated MacKenzie's birthday today (hers was yesterday).  We had Michelle's parents here also.  This was about the 6th birthday celebration for Brendan.  Michelle made some really cool cakes for the two of them.   Brendan's Turtle Cake     Mackenzie's Owl Cake   Everyone arrived and we had a great meal and watched the Michigan/Michigan State game.  Very close game with Michigan pulling out the win in the last seconds.  There was cake and ice cream and the traditional Happy Birthday song.
