For Everything There is a Season

So last week Sundance closed and there is a good chance that my skiing days are over until next season. As depressing as that may be, on a good note, Rachael and I finally went for a bike ride today. Rachael bought me a bike for my birthday in March but today was the first time I rode any further than our neighborhood. We left from our house in Provo and rode up to Bridal Vail Falls and back. That's about a 20 mile round trip, Rachael says that 20 miles is a really short ride, but all things are relative. It was a beautiful ride. I have never really done anything on the Provo River Trail except longboard down and being on a bike, I am gaining a much better understanding of all my friends who complain about longboarders on the tail, especially since one nearly ran into Rachael as soon as we started up the Canyon. He would have hit her head on if we had not shouted for him to pay attention. does that mean that I will not skate the trail any more... no it definitely does not mean that it simply reinforces the idea that some idiots on their skates can ruin it for the rest of us.
For those of you who have not visited Provo Canyon lately, I strongly recommend that you do, and if you see me struggling to keep up with my wife, please keep in mind that I married Rachael and keeping up with her is a near impossibility.
