Hello everyone!
This will be pretty quick but I will hopefully have an awesome update come Sunday night and wanted to catch everyone up!
Since the last update we have been very busy. I finished teaching science today which was very exciting. I have been teaching it for the past 2 weeks in my own classroom, which has been both exciting and stressful. Things went really well overall however I am pleased that it is done.
Last weekend Jenny and I finally had a day off together! We went to Elitch Gardens and had a really good day. The weather was great and it was both our first time there. It isn't really anything to write home about but worth the trip! It was kind of like a smaller, maybe trashier Kings Island.
I finally got my mountain bike functioning well and was able to get a really good ride in at the Garden on Monday. Unfortunately on Wednesday I rode the Hogback near Morrison and fell off this stupid slickrock esque section and bent my rear derailer into my rear wheel. Great. I was able to fix it enough to ride it home but it is not in the best shape.
Last night Jenny and I spontaneously went to the O.A.R. concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheater. It was incredible. Citizen Cope opened for them and they were really good too. Such a fun night however moved fairly slow today...which was parents day in my classroom. Very exciting. It did go well which was nice. Anyway here are some pictures...I leave early tomorrow morning to drive to the Capitol Peak trailhead. It is in the Elk Mountains near Snowmass. We will hike to the base of the mountain tomorrow, about 6 miles, camp then wake up early Sunday to climb the mountain. If all goes well 14er #2 will be logged this weekend. It will be a friend of mine named Steve and myself. Anyway talk to everyone on Sunday!
