If you've got lights and want to do an easy night ride, we're headed out to ride the North Boulder Trails tomorrow. It's a U Bikes shop ride and we're probably leaving the shop or our house around 7pm.
C'mon...it's fun and scary! And it'll be really really dark :)

What to do on a rainy day?
Get up and run! I got in a good hour run today right from the house down to the Boulder Creek Path, up canyon until the creek path ended and then back again.
After that Cynthia and Megan came over and we headed up to Carey's Open Studio. Her art is very earthy, she works with clay and metal and wood and fiber and makes the most amazing pieces...if I had more money I would have spent it all.
Dan and I don't have much but art but that's just because most of our disposable income is spent on toys.
Here's the piece that I bought...and if I sell my CX bike I'm going to buy more. Cynthia went crazy and bought 6 square wall hanging pieces, good thing she just sold her Seven frame!
I think it goes rather nicely next to my Lumberjack 100 trophy...I lack so much in culture it's sad...
Check out more of Carey's stuff here.

Another day of drizzle
Yesterday it drizzled ALL DAY LONG and it looks like we're in for more of the same today :( I'm sure it's snowing in the higher elevations.
Dan and I were supposed to take the new dirt bikes out yesterday with Tracy & Jason but we couldn't so we opted for a run instead....now our shoes are caked with mud:( Guess I'm in for another long run today while Dan works.
Living in Colorado, have 2 back to back days of no sun and rain is really rare and everyone can feel it. Although, on days like this you get lots of stuff done that you normally wouldn't....like lots of shopping :) We got our SKE passes for the ski and DH season, we hit up the Spyder clearance sale and we got some new MX gear while sitting on the couch watching a movie....I got some new Fox boots :)
Fingers crossed it stops raining and starts drying out so we can do some night riding next week!

Sweater weather
I LOVE the cooler temps...if I could live somewhere and wear sweaters and fleece all year round I would (San Francisco is too expensive!)
When the weather turns cool like this it makes me want to spend all my money on nice cozy warm sweaters.
Which in turn makes me think about what I could sell to buy a whole bunch of nice cozy warm sweaters....I'm thinking I'll sell my CX bike and just build up my old singlespeed into a hardtail to ride around the open space trails.
Anyone want to buy a custom painted Velo Bella CX bike???? It's got a nice new carbon fork on it. Guess I'll have to post it up on Craigslist tonight :)

Politics
I got this sent to me today...pretty funny.
Whether Democrat or Republican, I think you'll get a kick out of this!
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is Politics?'
Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the family, so call me The President
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.'
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.
He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room.
Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, 'Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.'
The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about!
The little boy replies, 'The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit!
That pretty much sums it all up! - Kim

The scary spiders come out at night
Dan wanted to see how close we were to the North Boulder Trails and Boulder Res tonight instead of Marshall, we're super close. We saw lots of deer, rabbits and a couple foxes and that nasty huge spider I saw on the ground as we rode past it. Yick!
Don't shine your light in my face!
Quick take my picture before that damn spider crawls up my leg!
It was the perfect night to be out, temps were moderate and the wind died down from earlier today.
Can't wait for the first full moon ride!
