MS 150

Hi All,
My boss, his wife and daughter will be riding in the National Multiple Sclerosis Society MS 150 in Dallas this May 3rd and 4th. (tandem + trailer). Nancy suffers from MS and continues to receive treatment as well as hope for additional research to help combat this disease. If you would like to donate, click on either of Mike or Nancy's name.

Remember, all donations to the NMSS are tax-deductible.

Thank you for your support, we appreciate it more than we can say.

Opening Day Weekend

This weekend Ashleah and I headed north to Denver to catch the Opening Day home game for the Colorado Rockies. We got started a little late so we stopped and stayed with friends in Raton, NM. Saw this sign as we got into Raton. Seriously, is Raton really a destination for springbreakers? Watch out Daytona Beach and Cancun!. Rumor has it that Girls gone Wild will be filming in Raton next year.

Finally made it up to Denver and the sun is shining. Swung by the stadium and picked up the season tickets! Ahh. Nothing like the sweet smell of a full years worth of baseball tickets. Ever seen the movie "Fever Pitch?" I too smelled the stack of tickets!


Time to get into the ballpark, drink a few beers and enjoy the game with friends. Whew! made it inside and to the bleachers with 5 minutes to spare before the first pitch was thrown.




Nothing like a few beers in the sun to get the pipes going for "Take me out to the Ballgame!"



Too bad the Rockies couldn't hit the ball. 2 hits is not going to cut it. They got spanked 7-1.

Rest of the weekend wa spent meeting with caterers, photographers, and cake makers for the wedding. Of course we made some time to pick up a couple of Chipotle Burritos! Damn they are good!




For all those that are intersted in the bike portion of this blog . . . . well I did see a bunch of roadies racing in and around Boulder. Sorry no pics.

Nighty night!

A Few Pics from the White Mesa outing

Back home again so I thought I would post a few pictures from the White Mesa bike ride with Chris and Zoe.

My turn. I am half Way Down!



That's so much fun!

That's it! White Mesa is one of the best trails to ride.

Now Ashleah and I are off to Denver to catch the Colorado Rockies Home Opener. Beer, Rockie Dogs, and Baseball. Now that is the way to spend a Friday afternoon.

My stint at Conchas Reservoir is almost up. Here are a few pics from my 10 day trip. Even got a bike ride (with plenty of wind resistance) in.
