Leafpeep

Sunday morning in Crested Butte was pretty magical. Walking the dogs early down to the open space. . .


On our way home, we took a detour to Irwin Lake. Today seems all about playing with Milo and Skye. Good dogs!

Eben with his girl!


A quiet moment on Kebler Pass.


The foliage was remarkable.

Crested Butte Classic

Sorry about the 7 month hiatus from updating the blog. The last weekend in September was a beaut, and the family headed down to Crested Butte so that Eben could ride for many miles with a few other peeps. The day started with some early breakfast and coffee, then over to "HQ" - aka the parking lot!


Lovely Jeny and Super Ed came down to play too. Jeny was up for the long ride, Ed brought numerous camera lenses for mucho photos!


They're off on a beautiful morning.

The weather pattern has been pretty easy for the past few days - crisp fall weather until 2pm sharp then a 40 degree temperature drop with wind and moisture. Saturday did not disappoint. There was a lot of lightening to the west and both Eben and Jeny were a little off their ETA from lap 2. Ed and I drove up in the rain to see Jeny coming down Gothic Rd. She was cold and wet but still smiling, stoked to close out lap 2. Tough girl! This shot of Eben coming down from Mt. Crested Butte.


Eben, a happy man calling it a day after 70 mtb miles on a rigid 1x1 (and no sensation in his hands or feet). Way to go Honeybunny.
