July 1: First Yellow Mule

This might be my favorite ride of all time. Alpine meadows give way to pine forest as you descend 3000 feet over seven miles of winding single track. Stunning views and ear-to-ear smiles abound.

Brant: "This one makes it look like you're going really fast."

Katie: "I was going really fast."

But wait, there's more...

Cumulative Update

Many, many things have happened since my last post. Many. We bought a house, moved into it and began filling it with stuff (both ours and some new stuff) and working on it. This is in addition to both us working way too much. I wrote a number of proposals and delivered some hardware to the Air Force. Katie attended some conferences and has been training volunteers all over the place. This is in addition to doing her own thesis research. Somehow we also managed to cook tasty food, ride bikes and even go skiing.

True greatness: Bacon, hamburger, caramelized onions and crimini mushrooms.
