Summer is Gone :(

Wow, I just realized it's been over a month since I last posted anything! How could I let that happen? :)

I am a mixed bag of feelings about the coming school year. While I'm pretty excited about getting back into the routine of school and going on a lot of fun biking trips this fall, I'm also reminded of how much I have to accomplish between now and the end of the school year! So much remains to be done on my research project, and of course I find every little thing to stress about...every nit-picky little detail that could go wrong, and probably will...At least I have a pretty clear idea about what has to be done to finish the project. Then comes the thesis writing and defending! I take comfort that many people have gone before me and survived:)

The past month has been full of fun adventures! A crazy trip to see the sister and friends and family in Durango:


Fun riding bikes, Emily made it to the top of Rist Canyon for the first time!!



Also, we went to Nantucket! How could I almost forget??! Favorite pic of the week:



Quite a bit of work, although I don't have any fun pictures for that....

Caley and I marked our 2nd year of togetherness with some epic trail work on the reservoir loop and then some fun downtown at New West Fest. We can't decide whether the past two years have gone really fast or really slow...still not sure:)

I should head to bed, we're getting up early to ride some mtn bikes! I'm trying to get some good riding in the next few weeks before racing starts. Somehow the summer went without me riding nearly as much as I would have liked. I guess I'll be forced to this fall with races every weekend, racing into shape is my favorite thing to do anyway...:)

I'll make a more concerted effort to keep you updated this fall!
