"Ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man"

Look who we ran into on our way to a weekend of bike racing in Michigan back in September. :-) Don't be fooled by these photos. They may not really revealed who we voted for today, either.

411 and 412

Feeling a little under the weather, I dragged myself to the polls right before the lunch hour rush. Brad and I bee-lined to the steps as retirees took the ramps. Minimal wait as the rush was right behind us.

It is just amazing watching the news channels with the massive waits to vote across the country. I have been brought to tears 3 too many times. It is an honor to be an American.

Continuation of Little Horse Ride to Llama Trail

We are still learning how to make movies. We have been splitting one video to provide shorter vignettes. Ober and Clinton hammering the Red Rocks.

The Closers

Lidge & Jesus Christ! Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa! You gotta love sports. Way to go Phillies. What a game with a stressful three and a half innings. Tampa Bay played awesome but did not come up with the goods. Next year man, next year.

Not really being a baseball fan, it was SWEET watching 3 1/2 innings. Maybe that is how long a baseball game should be - cutting the innings played down to four.

Little Horse Trail

Dwayne "the Train" Clinton and Ober ride Little Horse one more time before our departure home.

Merry Christmas

I had to organize the attic so I brought down our little Christmas tree. With the white lights already strung around the tree and we are going to be out of town for most of the holidays, I thought I would place the tree in our room to enjoy early. At 4:16 a.m. I was not enjoying the damn tree as Smeeges chomped on the fake branches and white lights. I at least wasn't crazy enough to put the ornaments on the tree yet. I am pretty sure I am not going to put ornaments on as the tree probably will not make it downstairs and all I need are ornaments flying around our room in the middle of the night.

Templeton Trail

I did not think I would want to ride the same trails over again but Templeton was fun and challenging. I wanted to share the technical section with you as I could ride most it this year. Second time around, I still fell; of course in a different switchback. It does not look too bad in the video (midway into video on a switchback - quick tire shot) as I caught myself from sliding down the edge of the trail. Sorry for the bobble-head video; I would like to blame it on the full suspension and rocks but it was probably more me than anything.
