A Beautiful Weekend

It's hard to believe it's nearing the end of October with the beautiful weather we've been having this weekend. We decided to take advantage of what could be our last beautiful weekend. So we rounded up the peeps and headed out Saturday morning for a nice mountain bike ride. First we had to do a group picture. . . . . .what better way to do that, than to do a pyramid (and no, it wasn't even MY idea this time around!)??

After that we headed out to Sunburst and did a lap together.

Then we headed on over to Glacial Blue to poke around for a bit. Superfly had never been there during the day. . . . . . . so it was like a whole new trail.

After that we headed back home, cleaned up and hopped in the truck to head on up to the banquet. We got there with enough time to check into our hotel and freshen up. We clean up nice, don't we?

The banquet was ok. . . . . .dragged on a little too much with the marathon series awards, but there was plenty of food (which was actually good) and lots of swag to win. A few of us took home a few trinkets.

And of course our table was on the podium a lot throughout the night. And for our team peeps who couldn't make it, we collected their stuff as well. So we had a table full of awards. Sweet. After the banquet we headed back to the hotel room where the "party" continued and we ordered "cheesy bread" from Toppers and drank a beverage. Holy cow, did that stuff ROCK. Could have eaten a WHOLE other box of those things.

Then one by one we fell asleep (some people simply passed out) and no one moved again (with the exception of potty breaks) until 9:00am. Of course that was WAY too late to hoof it to the cyclocross race down in Janesville, so instead we went for breakfast, then headed home, unpacked and got a short hike in.

Again. . . . .a BEAUTIFUL day.

I'm thinkin' there's not a whole lot of these days left in 2007.

And that concludes another full filled weekend with the peeps. Now we'll brace ourselves for the rain and cooler temps. . . . .and we'll bookmark these lovely pictures to look back on when the weather turns to crap.
