Have a great time riding with the kids.
They had fun on the play ground before and after the ride.
We used my mom's" townie" bike, we took turns riding it, very heavy bike.

We rode from their house in Centralia to the Chehalis Airport.

I love that they want to get out and exercise with us.

My Tri Cancelled


After the STP I needed something else to do. So I signed up for a
Mini-Triathlon
¾ mile swim
30 mile bike ride
5 mile run.
It was on Sept 11, 2010

Pam and Brooke (my niece) signed up but to do the Biking and Running only. 

Then we got this email
Our Black Hills Triathlon event for 2010 is CANCELLED. Due to park logistic changes,These changes created an unsafe course that we feel cannot allow us to continue with the event this year.. :(

So  Brooke and I signed up for the 10 mile run Cooks Hill Challenge

One of the food stops

This girl was blowing bubbles.
 
 
 
It was the most beautiful ride we have taken so far.


Renee and I FREAKED out on this hill... we walked down it and thought we were going to have to take our shoes off so we didnt' slid down it LOL
 


Renee and I only made it 38 miles, after our hike the day before my calves were cramping and there was another steep hill UP and the DOWN... we said "that's it" We had already proved ourselves on the STP.
There was a shower and beer calling our names. Denny came and picked us up.
Again he saved the day.
 





I forgot how windy it is there.
                 Craig did the whole 100 miles. He said it about killed him...



Lovin the hair





Then we went and had pizza then back to camp and of course drank.
Rena and Jordan came and saw us.
