Is it Friday yet?

This weekend was kind of a downer. Dan had to work all weekend since the store was having a huge sale and it was their grand opening as a Trek Concept store. They had a nice party at the shop on Friday with food and beer...unfortunately, the food was gone in about 10 min so we didn't get any. Larry the Trek rep was kind enough to walk over to Taco Bell after all the people left and fed all the hungry employee's who had been standing around for about 14 hrs.

Saturday was super nice with temps in the 70's but I had a ton of running around to do and after taking Patch for a walk, the wind had picked up and getting on the bike to push through the wind wouldn't have been fun so I just went for a long run instead. We stayed in because Dan was beat and margarita's went down a bit too fast and we were out cold probably before 10pm.

Sunday, we were supposed to go on a ride before the shop opened at noon but we woke up to a couple of inches of snow on the ground...big bummer. After Dan left for work, I decided to take Patch up to West Mag for a hike. Man, the snow was so deep and heavy that not even snowshoes made the hike enjoyable. The trail was not visible at all and it looked like no one had been up there in months...I ended up going in circles a few times and decided to call it a day after finding Patch huddled under a tree shaking. He couldn't move without sinking in the snow leg deep and he didn't want to move anymore.

I was in bed around 9:30 last night....ready for next weekend already. And there was another couple inches on the ground when I woke up...grrrr, not a good way to start the week.

Luckily the weather should get better by the end of the week and we'll hopefully hit the trails again, the talk of doing some shuttle runs up in Ft. Collins was even mentioned!
