Moving, biking, birthdaying, biking, fathers day, fun

Hmmm, blur of a weekend, sort of lost the details of the funny stories now a few days past.  A broad range of activities filled the weekend, which made it feel like a really good weekend.  Moving some furniture out from Vancouver, dining and rooftop patio sitting, awesome surprise birthday ride with Jon, Devin, Shawn and Kate (and her little dog Toby).  We got out of town late, but missed most of the rain and did Jewel Pass uphill then Razorback which was awesome on the downhill, then raced back up the Quaite valley climb and down Jewel.  When I wasn’t struggling I was having fun, especially on the down.  Kelley Nutbrown refueled us with homemade goodness for Jon’s surprise birthday party after – a great way to unwind after a ride.

 

Mom and dad came over for father’s day coffee and breakfast snacks, then Cindy and I rode from Priddis out Coal Mine road, but unfortunately it’s impassable as a bridge is out.  It’s a short one; I hope they can just truck in a modular one, but we’ll see.  Too bad for now. 

 

After that it was home for quick packing, then Cindy’s sister hosted a father’s day dinner too.  The big announcement was that some new grandparents were in the making so that’s pretty exciting stuff.

 

Felt good riding into work today, I’d like to do some longer rides after work this week once the skies clear – plus the Ride to Conquer Cancer thing coming up this weekend.  BC Bike Race packing needs to happen soon too.
