Summer Family Weekend

June has been a busy family month: 4 Birthdays (Armando, Joely, JJ and Jessi) and a Wedding.

JJ and Sarah got married on June 15th, and Grampie flew in from Arizona to see JJ, to meet her new Grand Daughter, Sarah, and to spend some time with the familia.

Amongst some of the week's activities were a day trip to Rancho Morales for Grampie, a Tostada Dinner at John & Deb's, a trip downtown to La Rumba to watch Aunt Susie's Salsa Band, and a Sunday BBQ at Joe and Moon's.

Elephant Rock and thereafter

Hey Guys,
Have an interesting story to tell. Last week Julie and I did the Elephant Rock ride in Castle rock. It was a 34 mile road bike ride. Here is part of the route but our GPS messed up half way through :( Julie did great by the way.. it was only her 5th road bike ride and she was able to push through without stopping once (except to take a photo with Pikes Peak in the background).

GPS INFO:

Julie and I ready to start....

Our buddy Dave met up with us. For those who haven't met him he is the husband of Julie's highschool friend Darci... Dave hit 48 mph on this ride! Very good control for his first year road biking! (Now I won't tell you why yet.. but take a good look at Dave, remember his face and then continue reading... )

Julie scaling a climb! there was a lot of hill climbing on this ride.

Julie - Dave - Joe... We were joking all day about tough nicknames... So we were calling Julie "White Lightning", Dave "The Blue Marauder" and I was the "Black Bomber"

White Lightning
Black Bomber

They actually had an elephant at the post ride festival

So we had a great ride...... Then just yesterday we get an email from Dave saying that he was driving home from Aspen over independence pass. He said it was snowy and sleety and he saw a group of cyclists getting ready to ride the pass. He looked closer and noticed who they were... In his email he said "Hey Guys, I met the "REAL BLACK BOMBER" this weekend.... So below is a picture of Dave with the Real Black bomber.... Scroll Down....
