Time 2 Ride
The boys love this time of year! As soon as it starts to cool off enough to put on a full face helmet, without passing out from heat stroke, it's time to go riding again! We took the quads out for a couple of hours this weekend and "tore it up!" It's not always my favorite thing to do, I prefer a steering wheel to handle bars, but I even got on and did a few laps too. We had a blast! So for our out of town friends and fam: The coast is clear. It's no longer 125 degrees, so load up your campers and quads and come on out! We'll have the light on for ya!

Life is a Highway....
What a weekend! Vast open highway, ancient Joshua trees, giant rocks, and hundreds of die hard bicycle riders. My brother aka "the Wild Buck" entered a race called the Furnace Creek 508. The 508 stands for the amount of miles ridden within a 48 hour period. Yes, die-hards, right? Amazingly enough he came in just over 36 hours with only a 30 minute nap and pedaling the rest of the way. We were all there to cheer him on. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful role model for my sons. Both of my bros have always held my boys on such a pedestal and my boys think the world of them. As the Wild Uncle Buck pedaled up to the finish line it must have been overwhelming. My family was soooooo proud of his accomplishment. The boys must have thought he was Superman. After we hollered and hugged and even cried, he showed us the picture that was taped to his bike frame the whole way. It was a picture of my boys that said, "Pedal Uncle." How's that for inspiration?
We made an entire weekend out of it by camping with family in Joshua Tree. It was a blast to hike and we got some awesome pictures. And then of course the finish line crew with lots of laughs, lots of food, and lots of love.
