Scott's birthday ride

Ok so my birthday is tomorrow but I have obligations, so tonight I took my birthday ride. 54 give or take miles. Wisconsin summer beautiffery. Checker out.

Check the elevation, there were some reasonably hilly-ish elevation changes.

I think it was the 4th of July

What a great birthday for you and me.

Morning bike ride w Jerry. New roads. Mercilessly trounced him in the sprint competition.

Here's a totally unrelated video about a turtle. But it's typical of our country road rides.



And, later that evening, after a big meal of hamburgers w Mom and Dad and the fam, and a long nap, we took the kiddos to the city fireworks.

Check this vid - and turn up your speakers for the big finish.



Tell you what, 4th of July don't git no better n that.

Random stuff

Found some pic's while cleaning.

This one is from May 31 1982, Brookhaven College in Farmers Branch Texas. I'm the dude in 2nd, making the combination "dammit" and "ouch" face. I could've had that guy but I was tactically stupid. Should have passed him before the last corner. Well, that was only my 4th race. I won later that summer in grand style, wish I had a pic of that one.





Next up, the Sisters of St Joseph Nukular Free Zone in Stevens Point Wisconsin.

Lord help us, you don't want the nuns to have the bomb.




And here's a gratuitous shot of cute little girls playing in a puddle



This one's for Jerry, to prove that at least once my bike has been clean and shiny



This one is the Precious Moments Chapel in Carthage, Missouri. Took the fam there on our wedding anniversary. 'Nuff said.
