Bear Lake Classic

Last Friday we were at our friends house playing Guitar Hero and my friend Neil talked me into doing a bike race around Bear Lake the next morning. We were originally going to go to Ogden to watch my running buddy Seth Wold run his first marathon. (Seth won the marathon by 4:45 and almost broke the course record. not bad for a first try). We decided to go to the bike race. I had never really done a long flat bike race before but it seemed fun. There were so many fancy bikes at the race, it was crazy. Most of them were worth about two or threee times as much as my car. I think the other riders got a chuckle out of me because my bike is more like a Huffy compared to theirs and about 20 miles into the 52 mile race I had a spoke break so my bike made funny noises the rest of the race. They weren't laughing however when I crossed the finish line first and sat up like I was a Tour de France champion. We didn't stick around for the awards because we went to help our parents work on their house.

Last night we had a few other couples over for food and games. We played a new game called Apples to Apples. I thought for sure that I would win. However, I was last place and Jen won the whole game. She later let me know that she had "clinched the title" and that I was no match.

Although it is me who writes on our blog Jen sits next to me and corrects my spelling and grammar. So far in this posting I've only needed a few corrections. I was hoping to attend the "Zoolander school for kids who wanna read good...and do other stuff good too" but my application was two late.
