After a very snowy final week of the DV ski season, it was time for a little fun in the sun....
My friends, Megan and Joy, and I loaded the road bikes on the car for the first road trip of the year. We headed south to Las Vegas last Friday, April 11th, to meet up with our friend Chris Sommers. We enjoyed incredible weather, blue skies, sunshine, and temps in the 70's (truly heavenly!). This was my first time on a bike this year. Not in the finest form, but it was great...it was just so nice to be OUTSIDE pedalling... and wearing SHORTS (not my parka and Sorrells!).
We broke out the "team" "Punto bici" jerseys, which Joy and I bought for all the gals on our cycling trip to Italy last fall. We found the Punto bici (bicycle) shop in Perugia quite by accident. The shop owner was proud to think his team jerseys would be out on the roads of the USA.
We rode in the Red Rock Conservation Area, not far from where our Vegas siblings live.... What a beautiful place! What a perfect time of year, not too hot, and wildflowers blooming everywhere. If you haven't been there, I highly recommend it. Next time, I'd like to do some of the hikes. Road trip anyone?
A trip to Vegas would not be complete without a visit with the fam. Thanks Rich and Heidi, Dave, Les and kids! Very memorable was the rousing games of "Duck, Duck, Goose." Spence truly takes this game to a new level! The final picture is Spence rouding the turn for maybe the 8th time, Elle "ducking" for cover. I really need to work on my action photography with this guy around!

Thanks for coming to visit Dorth! It was really fun to hang out with you! You are so awesome! Glad you had a good time! :)
Well Dorth, I guess that's a little different than the coastal wet climates, ravines and fences we've biked through out here. Equally as beautiful but in a different way--dry. If I had a dollar for every place that Dorothy has biked or skied, I'd be a wealthy guy.
