It's almost the 4th of July and that means several things here in Colorado. Frequent bike rides, time for the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, bike rides, picnics, bike rides, trips to DQ, and more bike rides. Janet and Adam came down for a week for the National Boxing Matches in Colorado Springs and decided to catch a few bike rides while they were here. Kent took a day off from work and took them up to Keystone to show them where we play on weekends:) We did a 55 mile loop from Keystone over Swan Mtn Pass (one of our favorites) to Breckenridge, then back through Frisco, Dillon, and eventually Keystone. What a beautiful day for a road bike trip! Here's Kent and Janet atop Swan Mtn Pass with the Tenmile range in the backbround.
While Sara and James were vacationing in Cozumel, we watched Sophie and Bella for the week. Of course, that meant more bike rides in town for them too....
And a trip to DQ after the grueling bike ride:)
Before we knew it, it was time again for Kent's company picnic at Heritage Square. Since Sara and James were still vacationing and the twins were sick, they couldn't go this time:( But Bradley did get to take Joseph and Andrew. Joseph's favorite ride was the roller coaster.
The following day, it was off to Colorado Springs for a guy's day out to watch the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. We set up our tent and BBQ and watched cars race up the hill all day long!
Several drivers weren't so fortunate and had some minor problems staying on the road....
We even got to see 'Monster' Tajima set a new record for the uphill race at just under 10 minutes - that's FAST! He flew past us at over 100 MPH.
At the end of the day, all of the drivers came back down the hill in parade fashion while high 5'ing all of the spectators -- Joseph and Andrew liked this part the best since they got a chance to congratulate all of the drivers!
Joseph's favorite car......
