Well as most of you know, my big bike ride this summer was the Cache Valley Gran Fondo. After doing 100 miles last year, both Eric and I thought doing a 50 mile ride this year might be a lot more enjoyable. Just like last year, we started out adventure by going up the day before and just enjoying the town of Logan. On the morning of the ride, the hotel was nice enough to open up their free breakfast at 5:00 am (instead of the regular 6:00) so we could fuel up before our ride, which started at 6:30 am. For not having practiced as much as we wanted to, we both felt we did very well by averaging 17.7 mph over the full course of 50 miles.

We did it!

But wait, there is one more great adventure. Keith decided to take advantage of one of the activities that was part of the Gran Fondo Downtown festivities. Yes, Keith jumped off of the equivalent of a two story building to free fall onto this inflatable mat. Way to go Keith!
