Adventures in Utah and beyond. Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Shred Oregon Day 11: The End. After the beauty of Crater Lake, we had the long drive home ahead of us. We dicide to break it into two days. Heading east through Oregon we went through Drew's Valley and Drew's Ranch. How nice they had that waiting for Drew. There were a couple of other people coming and going, but they paid no mind to our little stream-side camp. Here is the spring head. An oasis in the desert. LITERALLY. A video of the bubblin'.

Adventures in Utah and beyond. Monday, May 26, 2014. Shred Oregon Day 1. We embarked today on an 11 day trip to ride the best trails in Oregon. Embarkation was not easy. This week I spent a ton of time getting Dewey ready for the trip. Many hours sleuthing problems and finally help from Access RV diagnosed a short in the water heater. Then a dead battery. Nearly $200 later and at least 5 hours late from departure time, we were underway. Thursday, May 22, 2014. Combining work and play in May. Di and Tod t...

Adventures in Utah and beyond. Sunday, April 26, 2015. Race Report: 6 Hours in Frog Hollow. Last weekend Drew and I joined some other teammates and friends to race the 6 Hours in Frog Hollow. The race is held on the Jem trail near Hurricane Utah. We rolled up Friday afternoon around 4 in time to set up Dewey at the race venue. Since we were both in the solo category, we could park right along the race venue. Start time was a respectable 9:00 am. My kind of race. To add difficulty to my marginally-attaina...

http://lucydrewblog4u.blogspot.com/2015/05/tour-of-s-utah-days-11-not-really-utah.html
Adventures in Utah and beyond. Saturday, May 16, 2015. Tour of S Utah Days 11&12: Not really Utah. Detour back to Colorado. Our plan for Sunday had been to ride early in Moab and motor on over to see friends in Grand Junction, Colorado, but the trail we wanted to do was a bit of a detour off of Hwy 191 so instead we chose to go ride near Grand Junction and Fruita instead. New things! We’ve ridden the some of the Kokopeli area trails before. Colorado River from Moore Fun. In the morning we departed as Jon...

Married With Bikes: June 2015
http://lucydrewblog4u.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Adventures in Utah and beyond. Friday, June 19, 2015. I used to hate having a birthday in the summertime because all my friends at school who had school-year birthdays got all the glory. Now it's the best because: summer parties! Drew busted his chops to get the yard looking fabulous for a friendly get together in honor of another year well and Happy Flag Day! While he was toiling, I was tending to other important things, like getting myself ready. Jeeze my feet look skinny. And making birthday pie.

Adventures in Utah and beyond. Monday, March 31, 2014. Escape to Florida Part 5: Escape from Orlando. On Day 5 we really. Were going to get out of Orlando. With our Chrysler 300 (not getting any smoother), we motored west to Tampa Bay. We checked in to our booked-last-minute hotel, the North Sunrise Motel. The pool at North Sunrise Motel. The beach is on the other side of the five-story hotel in the background. Our room. Small but comfy. Who needs fish when you have a fish eye lens. Sunday, March 30, 2014.

At the Denver Center for Performing Arts on July 1 and they had to find some fun couple to take. “Pick Me! 8221; I said.

Married With Bikes: February 2015

Adventures in Utah and beyond. Saturday, February 14, 2015. Every time I think my job is cool, it gets cooler. I really do love my job. It is science. I work with great people. And I get to go do things like this. Measuring stream flow in a creek in Cache County. Note the brown boots. By the time I got out of the stream I was sloshing inside. The boots had a leak. No water in the stream bed. Measuring water quality field parameters. Sometimes you gotta get in there and measure that junk. Watching the Wor...
