Ira and I took our boys out to the 'Nut, Rock, and Fruit Farm' hills yesterday for an afternoon of sledding. This area is one of our
favs for gravel riding as it's super remote (a 15 minute drive outside of Bolivar) with little to no traffic; one hill is long and steep and you go crazy fast, the second is longer, but not as steep and is fun cruising. The grader came through and packed down the 'runs' and left 'bumpers' on the sides so no one could hit the ditches (perfect). Everyone shoots off and I follow behind in the
Durango (at a hugely safe distance), pick everyone up at the bottom, drive 'em to the top, and do it again. Maximized the fun and time. Couldn't talk Jake into coming as he and snow/cold are not good friends.
Played some basketball at noon and then after sledding I jumped on the trainer for an elevated HR 1 hour.
Watched SBU beat on PSU last night and Ian got to play with the 5th grade team at half time against a 6th grade Bolivar team. It is so funny to see him (the smallest by far) guarding and blocking out guys way over a foot taller; the kid doesn't back down and mixes it up like he owns 'the paint'. He felt pretty good playing in front of a crowd.
***E-ball is the small kid playing defense on the top of the screen***
If the temps get above 20* I'll probably head out on the 29'er for a couple hours this afternoon on the backroads, but we'll have to see...
