Devi and Merckx and paddling works...me

Got a few great misc. photos of Devi and Merckx, getting along better every day.. Sara and I took our boats out to Pueblo reservoir for a day of block training. This was the first day out in my new "used" boat. Sara gave me much appreciated pointers, as I have never paddled a kayak in my life. After paddling around for a few hours we pulled in, jumped on the road bikes, just because:) Had a great day paddling and riding, even though I'm still fighting off a head cold. We are looking forward to going back down there and riding the mtn. bike trails, we didn't know existed.

Valentines flowers and Merckx has the power



So, Sara wanted me to put a photo of her Valentines day flowers which, she says, were a total surprise, on here... I had to send her "the" Vtines gifts.. Flowers and chocolate.. I wish everyone a loving Valentines Day!
We do have a new addition to our new little family, Merckx. We got her from a guy I know at work that could not keep her. For the first week we did not see much of her. She liked hiding under the bed and the coffee table. Slowy, ever so slowly, she is beginning to come out and be a little social. Well, Devi wwas not quite sure how to take a kitty in the house, after being an only child. But now, they get along a little bit better every day. She is a great cat and we are very happy to have her in our lives.
Other than than that, we are training for our Moab race in March.

A little skiing.. A little biking....and some hiking.






What a fun weekend this has been. Sara and I went up to Arapaho Basin ski area on Fri. and had a great time. First day at a resort this year for both of us. Great conditions and a beautiful day. Yesterday the weather was perfect for a bike ride so we went out for a little 50 mile ride. Really good to be back in the saddle again:) Sore tush to go along with the smiles though... Today we went out for a great hike with Devi. Devi is showing her age now, as soon as she gets a little food it is straight to bed. What a life she has..




I did something this week that I didn't think I would for a while yet. I got rid of my motorcycle. I haven't ridden it much at all in the last couple of years and it's just sat around. I found a guy with a really cool Mazda Miata that he wanted to trade for a motorcycle and since it is not the time to try and sell anything, I am the proud owner of a zippy little Mazda. It will help keep the miles off my truck as well as getting great gas mileage. Been a pretty busy weekend over here but now it is back to school/work, until next weekend..... Sorry about the finger in the video!
