Summer Fun

The semester ended around the middle of May and we have been enjoying our summer break…until June 9th when summer school starts.
Lucas played another show in Tahoe last night…and booked another show for august in Sacramento, Ca,…and has another one tonight at Davidson’s Distillery (the Local Harley bike club in town…so Reno people you should GO!)
My friend, Shawn Tuckett, and I have been training for our first adventure race on June 15th. We are going to first do a 6-12 hour race that will qualify us to participate in the 24 hour adventure race in August. On Memorial day Shawn and I went hiking/Running to practice our navigation skills for the race…I never knew a map could tell you so much. We parked his jeep off some dirt road, picked a point to trek to (Carson Hot-Springs), and went running through the hills! Ohh what fun. (I will hopefully post pictures…but they are on Shawn’s camera.)
Today, however, I did something I have never done before…to make a long story short…I got a new Mountain bike yesterday and this morning at FedEx Shawn says, “There is a mountain bike race up Peavine today. We should do that instead of a 150 mile bike ride….” I didn’t want to do it…BUT Today I raced in my first mountain bike race! What scary crap, well down hill at least, but I'm still alive.




Ban Bio-Fuel...it kills Orangutans (That's what my jersey says...thanks to Lucas.)



The start of the race, pretty low key.



Shawn looking super RAD!

Lucas and I had the bright idea to take our two three year old nephew’s rock climbing at REI. We have wanted to do this forever…and it just so happened a few weekends ago we got that chance. Brendin and Iain did pretty good for their first time. It was fun to watch.

I don't Know what I think about this...


Okay...I'll do it...



Stop! I feel safe here!



Wow that's high



Lets go..I'm ready




Okay I'm done
