The great thing about being unemployed/Year of Awesome is that all of your friends call you when they have a day off during the week. I’m the “go to” guy for mid-week companionship. Most of these people wouldn’t talk to me on the weekends, when WAY cooler people aren’t working. I’m happy with the situation though, as it has led to several weekday ski outings and yesterday a nice relaxing ride with Colleen.
Colleen requested a “Day of Awesome” because she is between jobs this week and had some time on her hands. She wanted a bike ride. I’m not sure she wanted a 40 mile bike ride, but that’s what she got. Colleen was an exceedingly good sport about the ride (she’s just starting cycling). At various times she was probably wondering why she was spending a gorgous 70 degree day:
1. With Brant
2. Riding uphill and into a strong headwind
3. Riding right next to C-470
Here are some pics and I’ll post the GPS data shortly. I added another 20 for my ride, which brought me to a healthy 60.

Went out to preview the Bear Creek Course that we’ll be racing in a month. 40mph wind gusts sent me home.
