Top step

It was her first time on the top step and she already knows to hold the hands up.

Pedal, Pedal, Pedal

She can really get that chair bouncing.


She bonked from too many stories

Canada Eh?

My posts seem to get longer in between after my trip to France last fall.  The mtb season has been going well and cross is coming up soon.

I am in Buffalo, NY with Annie for work this week and plan on crossing the border tomorrow to ride in Canada and maybe get some free health care.  I figure I could get some sort of check up while I am there.

Thanks to Maury and the local Trek rep. Matt Koss, I was able to get set up with a Madone for the week.  It happens to be a friend of Matt's.  Matt even dropped the bike off at my hotel and is picking it up when I am done with it.  Wow, that is full service.  I hooked up with Rob from Handlebar bikes yesterday for some routes and we rode together today. We also cruised past a couple Frank Lloyd Wright homes on the way back through town.


The Elmwood neighborhood of Buffalo is a cool place to hang out.  I had coffee and a bagel at Cafe Aroma before the ride today and stopped at the Co-Op for a fresh peach and apple on the way home.

Killed it,

The keg at the Colavito's that is.  Well, actually we put the rest of Melanie's Bitter in growlers and had the last 2 beers out of the bottom.  It did get the keg out of the fridge though.  Kyle and Mel grilled up some great pizza last night and we stayed in and had beers and played games.  I had bought a Stone Brewery Smoke Porter and we shared it.  Ugh, maybe paired with something it might have been ok but as Mel said, it tastes like someone ashed in my beer.  It was really smokey.  We all had headaches afterward.
The weather has been sunny and in the mid 80's so my tan lines are coming along nicely.  I started reading "The Fountainhead" and I cannot put it down.  I will have to get it from the library when I get back because it is long and I am just reading Melanie's copy.  I found out why one of the coffee shops is called Coffee X-change, I really wanted to exchange the coffee they served me.  I had a double espresso that they served in a small beer mug and the shot was pulled sooo long that you could almost see through it.
