Breckenridge. To backtrack a bit I need to mention a strange phenomenon that occurred. I’ll call it biker syndrome. When driving the rental car that caryn arrived in I had a lot of trouble going more than 25 m.p.h. after spending 7 weeks at 10-14 m.p.h driving at 25 felt like I was breaking the sound barrier. I forced myself up to about 40 but it was very uncomfortable. I learned that josh is in very good physical condition. While riding up hoosier pass I was suffering from the altitude so josh rode ahead. What I didn’t realize is he rode all the way to the top turned around and came halfway down to meet me and escort me to the summit. Thursday night became a large dinner party. With all the visiting family in town we numbered aprox. 20. Friday morning was set aside for a few errands. Anida and Dick arrived at miday. The four of us had lunch catching up on family news and hung out at the brew pub most of the afternoon. I was introduced to all kinds of micro brews. They needed to be back in ft. Collins by early evening so couldn’t join josh, Tanya, and zoe for dinner. Zoe has grown a lot since we saw her last summer and she is certifiably adorable. Caryn’s visit was great but sadly had to end at 6:30am Saturday morning. She headed back to the airport and I got on my bike.
