summer's flying, but my cohorts and i have managed to do a decent job of avoiding the bummer life, if i may borrow the term.
there are a bunch of photos in the following...the climbing pics were stolen from Patty, the Bergman's, and Mrs Austin.
all the good photos from the Chippewa triathlon came from my buddy Tony.
enjoy!
The next few are from the Chippewa Triathlon. Now, i'm no 'triathlete' by any stretch of the word, but a co-worker asked me if i'd like to do the bike portion as part of a relay. It sounded like a good time so I said "Sure!"
It turned out to be an awesome time, and we managed to take 3rd in our division (competitive relay). The "mountain bike" course had a bit of everything, which made for an exciting and challenging 28 mile ride. What made it even more challening was the rain we had gotten the night before, and sporadically during the race. Tons of mud, sand, some single track, about 9 miles of paved trail, most of which ran through the Chippewa National Forest.
Am hoping we get the same team back again next year.
i'll let the photos talk now....

It was cool out, about 50, but that was for the best. I was so anxious i was taking a piss
about every 5 minutes.



new parts for a race, but i told him we had nothing to worry about. Thanks Jim!

And a random photo, just to remind you how awesome cargo bikes are.
