Summer Vacation Day 4: The ER

Day four started out with beautiful weather. We had breakfast and Michelle took Brendan fishing. I decided I would take a ride on the bike and do a little recon for a family bike ride.

I set off east to ride toward Rapid River. I rode around the the edge of the bay and took a few pictures.

Dunes on the edge of Gladstone.

This was around 4-5 miles out of town in a small subdivision.

The photo above is of a small river I crossed, unfortunately I cannot remember the name. I thought I found a bike trail that would be nice for all of us. Unfortunately it was swampy and not kept up. I headed back to Gladstone and met Michelle and Brendan out on the fishing dock.

I sat with them for a while and Brendan caught this.

This is a Gobi. An invasive species of the Great Lakes.

After a few minutes I started back to the house. On the way I started to have some chest pain. After showering it had not let up. I called Michelle and they started back to the house.

Michelle then took me to the Emergency Room in Escanaba. All the tests came back ok. The doctor did not believe it was cardiac related and felt that further tests were not warranted. He also stated that I was at low risk for a heart attack. He did recommend to follow up with my doctor at home for further evaluation. He also said that I should not over do it until I see my doctor.

The rest of the day I rested and Jay Jay and Kayla arrived shortly after we got back from the hospital. We had dinner, a movie and called it a night.

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...
