opening day

the last couple of weeks i've been fairly sick. beth and i both have been fighting nasty colds. but last weekend i got some much needed vitamin D and have felt much better this week. the turning point? definitely saturday. what i like to call: opening day.

saturday afternoon my friend sarah and i commenced with opening day of mountain biking season. on a beautiful sunny afternoon, in the peak of 65 degree weather, we headed out into the hills on our dusty bikes and out of shape muscles. (it's been a couple of years....)

and man, it felt good to get back out. the trail wasn't all that hard, though it kind of felt like it at times, and it was the perfect way to start the summer. and by summer, i really mean spring. it is only march after all.

but i guess that's part of the beauty of it. it's only march and we were out there. in our short sleeved shirts and shorts, beads of sweat being dried up by the wind as we cruised the trail...

it. was. awesome.

the weather has been so good to us - we probably could have gone on several rides this month. i am hoping it is indicative of a true and warm spring without a late snow storm that seems to inevitably hit the front range in april.

either way, i am so glad we took that glorious day to open it up. it was so healing and therapeutic for me. and we've got big plans for more baby.

summer 2011, you better watch out. morgan and van orden headed straight your way. and we plan to take full advantage of everything you got.

(i am in that bottom right picture, i promise. can you find me????)

good times, morgan, good times. next stop: hall's ranch?

over n out.
