Pool Shed Paint
Finally after almost two years the pool shed is getting it’s paint. Jen took some time over spring break to get it done. From the outside it’s getting this nice brown to blend in with the surroundings. While the inside is getting this festive blue. It looks a little too festive now, but once the […]
Girl Climb
Chris and I had a big day planned for the girls. His would come over. We’d ride dirt bikes a little. Head to the quarry to climb. Finish the day with roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. The quarry is Birdsboro. It’s an old quarry turned local township park with lots of climbing. The road in […]
Catching Up
Been busy obviously. Not even sure why. Can’t even keep up with my email anymore. Anyway. As you know Jen got Epi-Lasik two weeks ago now. That first weekend was tough, but things are progressing. While she was locked up in the dark sleeping all weekend, the girls and I headed out for adventures (one […]
Fixed a Flat
Craig and I rode Coatesville for the first time this season. I forgot how hard it is. A lot of the trails are gone due to some kind of logging. Still plenty to train on. He got a flat early into the ride. We fixed it. That’s not exactly fun. – b
Fixed Then Broke
Got Abigail’s bike back with fresh rubber. I put the bark busters on previously, so now she was ready to rip. Fifteen minutes into ripping she had a problem. New chain and sprockets are on their way. Unfortunately the Honda is still in the shop, so no riding in the interim. – b
I Did Some Climbing
Got out for a spring climbing trip in the Gunks. After getting to the top of a route this past winter and fumbling with the anchor, I realized I needed to get back outside in the nicer months and practice my skills on rock. Craig (and a new guy named Alex) and I got two […]
Epi-Lasik
Jen got Epi-Lasik Friday morning for both eyes. The recovery is rough, but progressing. – b
If You’re Not Crashing…
Abigail wants to ride all the time. Lu, not so much. I told Abigail she could ride after Jiu Jitsu last night. Lauren asked if she had to. I said no she didn’t have to, but asked if she would if I bought her a milkshake. She was blown away. “Really? You’d do that?” “Sure. […]
Pisgah April 2nd
After taking the girls out riding on Saturday, Craig and I went back on Sunday for our own ride. Technically I think it’s our first ride of the season. We decided to take it easy and make it more of an exploration trip, so we headed for the point of Pisgah where we haven’t spent […]
Dry Dam Adventure
I mentioned a while ago how excited the girls were at the prospects of getting to ride their dirt bikes up around Jim Thorpe. Finally the weather warmed up enough to make it happen. The plan was to pack them up and head up to ride last Saturday. It was supposed to be in the […]
