great father's day weekend

sara and I spent father's day weekend camping at lake wenatchee with her parents and brother. it was also the weekend of her parent's anniversary, I think they've been married nearly 30 years or something like that.

I got a call from my buddy nate who lives in cashmere and wanted to hook up with us for a ride saturday. we also hooked up with sara's friends sarah and dave.

we took off from sand creek with it lightly raining. initially conditions were a bit slick but then the rain cleared and the dirt was perfect. rode to the top of devil's gulch and then took mission ridge down... that is where things got a bit hairy.

riding down mission ridge we knew there would be some wind fall but didn't know we were committing to a log crossing adventure. the wind fall was horrible and about 3 hours later we had crossed countless logs.

that evening we had an excellent bbq dinner and drinks. spent most our time bs'ing around the camp fire.

next morning we took sara's dad for his first true offroad ride on the nason ridge trail. I told him the evening before that if he didn't break something on his bike he was a pussy, but sure enough there was some breakage before the ride was over. we then had brunch and relaxed the rest of the day.
