Happy New Year!

I know I am a day late here.  A lot happened over the last year and I know there is a lot a head of us. This was the first year that we did not have our New Year Party.  I missed it a bit, but it was nice to not have to do anything on New Years Eve.  Biggest thing was missing our friends.  We will have catch up somewhere else.

The boys and I maintained our tradition of lunch at Backwood's.  Michelle went into work for a while so I took the boys out for lunch.  Michelle picked up Olive Garden and we had a nice dinner.  I was looking forward to watching Michigan State in their semifinal game.  That was a bust and we were in bed by 10:30pm.  We got a good night sleep and then spent New Years day watching some football, taking down the Christmas tree and a few other things (more later).  Michelle, Brendan and I went out for dinner and then went and seen Star Wars.  I am not a big Star Wars fan, however if you have not seen it I would recommend it.!

Thank you for visiting here over the past year(s).  I hope to do a little more blogging over the next year.  Stay tuned and God Bless!

Summer Vacation: Day 10, Heading Home.

Sunday would be a long day of travel as we would make the trek home in one day.  Still shorter than driving from Marquette. We had breakfast and started to pack up.  I had put the bikes on the van Saturday evening while the grill was heating up and loaded a few things up.  We managed to get on the around just a few minutes after 12:00pm.   Michelle would take the first leg of the drive at the wheel of the van and I would rest.  We made a stop at a rest area in Manistique and I took a few photos. 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...

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...
