Just Hanging out!

I really haven't done much since the ride.  We did a short trail with lots of technical sections in it on Sunday with Micki and Steve.  We were by the lake, so we brought the girls with us. They ran the trail and swam a little bit and tuckered them out!  Moose, Micki and Steves' dog, went along for the second round with Jessi. Steve was commenting one how FAST Moose was running.  They are still super tired today.   Here is the trail we did today,  some of the "super technical" on the video we didn't do, you can pretty much pick any rock formation and make it into whatever you want.  But this is the jist.

There is a guy that comes into the store a lot and he is a rider, so we were swapping stories with him.  We might go riding with him and he can show us some "new trails".  He is a single speed guy so he likes "groomed flowy trails", not a lot of technical for him.   That might be fun, new trails, new people.  He is associated with

I told you... kinda slow around here... check back later! 

The 6th Annual Whiskey Off-Road Prescott Arizona

Well folks, I am here to tell you that Brooke was really impressive with her riding skills today.  She competed in the 15-Proof Race (15 mile-actually is 20 miles)  and laid some smack down on the other riders.  Brooke was the 2nd Female to finish with a time of 2 hrs-20 min. and 23rd overall.  With well over 105 riders in the 15 proof, I say she kicked some a$$.  Less than 1 minute separated her and the 1st female.  Great job!  She never told me, but she was trying to beat my time from last year of 2hrs 9min.  Next year she is going to do the 25-proof(actually more like 28 miles) with me.  We had some friends also compete, Katrina Lopeman did the 25 Proof, Tobey Jones did the 50 Proof in 4hrs 45 min.  It was a great turnout for the event.  There were over 700 riders this year.  I think the word is spreading that this is one of the best events in the southwest.  Our friends Micki and Steve came up from Phoenix to help cheer Brooke and some other riders on along the route.

Landscaping

Now we are working on the backyard again.  We were going to have a water fall in the back, Andy had it all dug out for it, but we now have decided we don't want a water fall.  Andy came up with the idea of a fire pit/sitting area.  Tonight a tractor gets delivered and he gets to have some fun.  In these pictures are what the back yard looks like now.  And all of that rock you see on the hill... we did that... 80 tons!  Each one of those rocks has been touched by us at least twice.  After he gets the fire pit carved out,  we are going to get sod and the back yard will be complete.  We are going to do one side of the front yard. We are tired of pulling weeds!   

Also, this weekend is the Whiskey Off Road MTN Bike race.  I am doing the 15 mile and Andy is thinking of doing the 25 mile but hasn't decided yet because his hand is still bothering him. Stay tuned for pics and results.
