Cody and the Snot Rocket Kids

I love the Moab Desert!

Headed out to Grand Junction and Moab this weekend to do a little riding. Cody wins the award for most ridiculous stuff ridden up and down, and Abby wins the award for best snot rockets all weekend! Cody didn't have a chance for winning that contest, as the sight of snot makes him throw up instantly!

On the Gunny Loop in GJ

Abby, Peter THE Freshman, and I headed out to Grand Junction to stay with my friend Mike Howse on Thursday night. Got a good ride in on the Gunny Loop in GJ on Friday (Peter pointed out that the ride was a little M.C. Escher like...I don't think we ever went downhill. Okay, we did, but it didn't seem like it matched the amount of climbing we did at all!) We got done just before the storm rolled in. We made a quick stop at the liquor store to stock up before we got to lame ass liquor law Utah.

Just missed the storm!

We got into Moab in time to sort out a great campsite and get camp all set up before it was too dark. We had an excellent pasta dinner and then started drinking! Not much beats a campfire, some good beer, and great laughs with awesome folks! Granted, most of those laughs were provided by Abby with her drunk calisthenics, lunges, high kicks, and dark highway sprints. Peter and I just stood by and laughed as she had a late night exercise adventure. Apparently we were being too loud (BEFORE the late night excercising). While we were just sitting around the campfire laughing, some cranky lady came over and told us we were being loud. We thanked her and carried on with our evening! :)

Awww, campfires!

Abby's fail-proof method to get rid of drunken hiccups! (Peter dropped her 2 seconds later!)

The Goods!

Lunges and High Kicks!

On Saturday, Cody and Forrest drove up from Durango to show us how to ride our bikes! We rode the Amasa Back trail and were treated to short sleeve weather and awesome riding!! What a fun playground to get to spend the day on!

Forgot to Mention that it was Jeep Week in Moab...Mullet-time!

Peter decided not to join us inside the Arch, prolly a good call, as it wasn't easy to get down!

2008 Team Totally Wired

Spirit the Pit Bull Riding in the Sidecar! They've been on the road for 2 years now. Awesome!

We treated ourselves to dinner at the Moab brewery and then a couple of growlers for the evening campfire! The next morning we headed up to the Sovereign trail. What an awesome trail!! We didn't get to ride the whole trail, so I'll definitely be heading back there to ride that trail again sometime (hopefully) soon.

On the way home, we were treated to the atics of Abby once again!

Oh ya, WYO Cowgirl!

What a much needed and very good weekend!
