Back in the saddle--Cyclocross style!

My bike was HEAVY! It's not a cyclocross bike.

I got a wild hair one night and decided to try one of the Rodeo Cross cyclocross races. It was wild alright. It led to me joining Team Mad Cat.

Steve's 40th Birthday Bash!

Another one of my creations.

The birthday boy.

The Rutherfords trekked back up here to join Teresa, Deron, Phyllis, Grandpa Peres, and us to celebrate Steve's birthday.
