We’ve been working on the website lately, and we’ve added some gear reviews, our packing list for the Great Divide Trail, and brief info on our Southeast Asia bike tour plans.

We’ve both been enjoying the unusually warm weather here in Golden these last few weeks. Dave goes for mountain bike rides in the foothills right near the house here, cranking out a solid two hours of sweaty happy goodness just about every day. I’ve been running up and around Table Mountain, accessible right from the house. It’s beautiful open space that’s wide open and usually sunny. We’ve also done some great hikes on the weekends, and Dave even went rock climbing on Sunday with Jesse in the Flat Irons near Boulder while I hiked around there. What fun! But alas, every unusually warm fall must come to an end, and tonight it is supposed to snow. And the rest of the week looks to be thirty degrees colder than it’s been. I had been running in shorts and a t-shirt, or long-sleeve t-shirt up until a couple days ago. Today we both wore tights and fleece during our outdoor playtime. Darn! I guess we’ll be extra ready for the humid heat of Southeast Asia in January.

We’re preparing for a very fun gathering on Thanksgiving with Dave’s three college friends and their families and his brother and his family. There will be massive yummy food. I start baking pies tomorrow! And the TurkeyDay festivities will start with us all gathered around the TV to watch the Packers Rool (after I drag Dave out for a run on the mesa!).

Happy Thanksgiving week everyone!
