Bike Dust

This is it.

Just returned last night from a week  in and around Missoula for Forrest’s graduation.  What a great trip. We hit the ground running Thursday, May 13 mid day when Forrest picked us up. Checked in at the Mountain Valley and I am pretty sure Forrest and I were drinking a beer at Kettlehouse South before 3 PM. Friday flew by, with a lunch meeting with Dane Scott of UM Center for Ethics and ended with a BBQ at Kim’s.  Darlene (Grandma) arrived just after 9 PM, and I checked in at Becky and Gary’s. Subliminal Plug One: Buy lumber from Heritage Timber, Montana.

Saturday, Graduation Day, Forrest and I met for free continental breakfast at 7:30.  He had to be ready to line up at 8:45 for a 9:30 launch.  Word is this was the first commencement outside at the U of M. And the day was a beauty.

Will flesh this out later, but you can read more about this trip at Dalis’ Blog Entries Here and Here and Here.

I had a great ride with my friend Denise on Friday.   There were plenty of climbs to make the warm day even warmer!  It took about ten miles to warm up but felt great and could have easily riden more but we had a party to go to!

Had a nice ride in Caroline County Maryland leaving from and returning to Tuckahoe State Park.  (Notice terrain map:  See?  No squiggly lines like most places we ride. That was the point.) Tuckahoe also has a disc golf course, a swimming beach, mountain bike trails, …  Less than an hour from Bay Bridge.  Awesome camping, but note Maryland’s zero alcohol policy.  (Trick learned from ultimate field: put beer bottle in sock for Cloak of Invisibility.)
