Roast pig

Yes, we did ride to Sugarloaf (again) yesterday. It was a cool morning, barely 50. And although it eventually warmed up to 60, a constant breeze and plenty of shade kept us cool - cold! - through all of the ride. Joe C joined us for this one and we all contemplated stopping to get something warm to drink but the pain of getting back on the bike after a thorough warming up kept us pedaling away. The sun was glorious and the views were nothing short of spectacular. All around it was a good training for Arizona. It was windy enough to provide stiff opposition both up and down hills. And that combined with the cold made a tough mental workout.

And to celebrate our accomplishment (after a nap on the couch), our friends Eric and Christal hosted their annual pig roast. They were up starting the fire and getting the pig ready when we rolled by on our ride at 7:30 am. After a long day of cooking, it was finally read to eat around 7:30. It was delicous! So were the 7 layer dream bars Amy and Greg brought. There were two fire pits going in the backyard since it was such a cool evening. It was probably low-mid 50's, but since it is our first cold weather of the season it was quite delightful. Both Chad and I brought our beanie caps and hung out by one of the fires. I know how to pick realestate - the s'mores were brought to our fire pit and after starting a major sugar high Chad and I headed home a little after 9. What a great fall day.
