First off – where did the week go? I am having a hard time realizing that spring break is almost over… the thought of going back to scho- nope I am not even going to say it yet. But presently I am hanging out in a very laid-back relaxing coffee shop on the Main St. This morning we packed up our bikes and took a second attempt through Arches National Park.

The outside temperature still read 35 degrees when we took off up the road, but we pedaled through the cold. We road around an hour and a half or so – a nice easy ride on the hilly desert landscape. Minus the cold and the ride would have been perfect. (Or maybe I just need to toughen up!)

The rest of the day is dedicated to getting prepared for Ryan’s adventure race tomorrow. He is officially in “race mode” – packing and reading maps. He was asked to race with some other people from the Front Range area and they should be arriving in Moab soon. I believe this evening we will meet up with his teammates at Pasta Jay’s and probably continue preparing for the race. Check back later tonight for more updates – I hope everyone has a great weekend!
