4th of July

We got to visit Grammy and Papa and all of the Northern California cousins this weekend. We had a nice visit. On Saturday Kyle took advantage of the fact that there was a road race beginning about 10 miles from Grammy and Papa's. It was called Leesville Gap and is notorious for bad roads. Could they be any worse than the road to Grammy and Papa's? The answer is YES! He lost a water bottle somewhere before a big climb, and drained his other bottle, by the time we met him at the feed zone he was not a happy camper. He said he actually took out his phone to call us to come get him, stared blankly at it and put it back in his pocket. He finished well, but we didn't stay for the results and he didn't get placed. He raced Cat. 4 since there were no other juniors in the junior div.


I guess we should have guessed how bad the road was when we saw this racer!


Papa and me waiting to hand off some bottles.

Coming through the feed zone. He said Gatorade never tasted so good in his whole life.


And the finish.


Hey how often does this happen? All four of us together!

Getting ready for the barbque. It's always nice to visit Grammy and Papa, we don't get there often enough. Thanks everyone for the great weekend.


Kevin and Brent were left to their own devices.

They did a little mountain biking.

And a little climbing.
