The team...

This was the first year that I rode for the Fitzgerald's bike team here in town.  Big thanks to the shop and all that supported me in the racing season.  

Whole lotta powerful bikers in this photo!  

Already pumped on next year and racing even more.

It will happen again...

 Not really sure who got higher, the pumpkin and or Dash.  His smile was massive!  

 Pumpkin tossing.

 So good seeing and spending time with these guys.  

Yea, it was that rad.

Fall

Out of the higher elevations and warmer climates last weekend fall was still kicking with the leaves in full swing.  

 Dash was all about Uncle Marco and Aunt Anna.  


 The best.

In the middle

 We made a collective realization with Uncle Marco and Aunt Anna a while back that we don't see enough of one another and that one of the reasons was geographical, aka, 12 hour drive between Tahoe and Jackson is way too far to do in a weekend.  

So, we opted to meet up in Twin Falls, ID last weekend for a weekend of good times.  

Such as....., a huge pile of corn seeds and trucks.  

 And pumpkin checkers and a hay slide.  

We stayed at a working beef cattle ranch in Buhl.

A thing of beauty....

That's right....... A new addition to our growing family!  1994 Polaris Indy 440.  Best of all, it can carry the entire family comfortably and it cost the same as two days of a rental sled, so, it is a win win for all!  Dash has already taken to calling it "my snowmobile."  Even Chels was stoked on the new purchase.  Windshield and a large seat....two things modern day mountain sleds certainly don't have.

Adventures with mom....

 Both Chels and I feel so lucky that she is able to spend as many days during the week as she does hanging with Dash.  The two of them are off on all kinds of adventures that make me supremely jealous every day.

Closing day

 Big thanks to my bud Rickie for inviting me and Teddy down to the Sporting Club for their closing day.  It was every bit as sweet as it looks!  

 Teddy with a pretty solid movement.  

 The course was as uncrowded as it always is.  

Down jacket, check.  Strider bike, check.

Sleddin

 It has largely been a cold, snowy, and almost non existent fall this year.  Last weekend was no different, so, might as well go sledding!  Dash was all about putting on his new snow gear and going for a rip.  

 Session'ing the back yard.  


And warming the hands up, aka, just putting your hands in the fire directly.

Summer on the Indian style

It didnt happen whatsoever in September or the first week of October, but...., ever since then, the weather has been what makes fall so awesome here!  I have been lucky enough to be out on the cross bike every day on my lunch hour soaking it all up with empty roads and bikepaths.

Celebrating

 Happy Bday Uncle Teddy.  Solid weekend amigo.  

 The gang.  


Evening shoes and brews.

Cross....

I finally experienced what all the noise is about with regard to racing cyclocross a couple of weekends ago over in Victor, ID and raced in the Moose Cross.  It was a ton of fun, I got second, and hope to do more this fall where time and schedule allow.

PUtting stuff in the dirt....

 New maple tree as put in the earth last weekend.  Thanks to M and D for getting it for us and Pops for helping plant.  

 Not a lot of growing happening now, but we will forget about them for the next 7 months and then be stoked come spring time.

Pops

 "Pops" was in town last weekend seeing Dash and hanging with the fam.  
Picnic afternoon up at Jackson Lake.  Too cold and windy to go kayaking unfortunately.  


 Who knew the old school Crazy Creek chair would have been such a hit?  


Oxbow Bend.

Congrats!

Congrats to my sister Sarah and her husband Lennin on the birth of their new adorable little girl a couple of days ago "Olivia."  So darn awesome.

Work Wanderings

 Had a sweet lunch hour ride on my way back from a work trip to Denver last week.  If Sinks Canyon up outta Lander, WY isn't my absolute favorite road bike climb in the 307, then it is certainly in the top 3!  

 Full on Euro style skinny roads, sharp turns, and no traffic.

Why not?

Bringing your dog into the post office is pretty commonplace most everywhere here in town, so......, we have now taken the liberty to also bring the strider bike too!

New One...

Just in case you have ever pondered what the golf course in Soda Springs, ID looks like, here ya go!  

Sweet lil track, cheap, and empty!  I played 9 with a cart in under 40 minutes!

112

 Lava........it rules!  Had the 112 degree pool all to ourselves for a bit.

Learning....

 Chels is slowly but surely learning to golf!  We played a couple of times two weekends ago on a weekend getaway down to Lava Hot Springs.
