Family, Friends, Hub, and TRSP

Hello all. Made it back from my weekend in GF. It was a good time. Left Fri after work and made it to Tonia and Trent's a little after midnight. Hung out with them until Sat afternoon, and then made the journey to Grand Forks. Went to the shop to visit everyone. It was good to see that it was busy in there...sounds like they are having a good spring.

After that, Simmons and I went disc-golfing (aka Dinky-Doo). The course was in decent shape, some wetness on a couple tee-offs, but not bad at all. Neither of us had played in a long time, but we both played pretty well. The Gazelle's flew far and long.

Then I went home to visit my dad for awhile. He was outside doing yardwork. He was doing fine, and his knees look to be doing better. It was weird around the house without little Mugsey running around. There is talk of them getting another puppy though. :)

Nathan and Simmons/Vino biked over later that night, and we took off for the Hub after picking up Sears at his place. The Hub was a great time...good friends and good food. Then, of course, we went to Gravity Race. Fast corners, wipeouts, drunken high school kids, and videos ensued. Dr. Andy raced in his first GGFGRPS event. There is a video of the carnage on Vino's blog, as well as a pic of the delicious Hub special.

Sun I went bumming around town with my dad. The construction on the Super Wal-Mart is progressing, and the beams are in place for the UND parking ramp (a possible future gravity race event location?). Otherwise not too much new in GF. Sun at 4pm Vino, Andy, and I took off for TRSP to do some biking. The weather was good (a little windy, but perfect temp) and the trail was awesome (nice and tacky). We checked out the new trail down in the horse trail section, and it is nice. Just needs to be cleaned off and broken in a little. Look for multiple videos to be posted soon on Vino's blog, as we took a lot of cool ones. Hopefully they turn out well. Andy hadn't been out to TR in many moons, and it looked like he enjoyed himself on his Surly Cross-Check.

And now I am back at work in WI. The weekend and my time back home flew by too quickly. The weather is still crappy and rainy here, hopefully that improves soon (at least by the time our wedding rolls around!!). Heather and Vontoux had a fun weekend at home alone. They did some cleaning around the house.

This upcoming weekend I have back-to-back races once again. Hopefully the rain will hold off and I can get in some riding this week to prepare. Should be fun! Talk to you all later.
