Getin' down on Friday
It's Friday, Friday gotta get down on Friday... Friday was my school's 1st annual spring carnival and being a n00b teacher, I was in the dunk tank with my friend Jen.
The water came straight from the hose and was ice cold, but it was still a good time. Lots of my students were able to dunk me which I'm sure was a dream come true. If only we could have switched places...
Will tried his best to get a video of one of us being dunked! After the carnival, we made our way to our fav restaurant nearby and then had a nice bon fire out back... I have to say, there's only 2 more weeks of school left and I am ready for summer! Will finished classes and exams this week so I'm pretty jealous right about now.

18 Hours of Fruita
Saturday Kelly, me, and our freinds Jen and Eddie 'competed' in the 18 hours of Fruita. The weather was super dry and warm during it which meant the course was super dusty, especially during the first laps at night. Once you got in a line of riders (which was often since the course was just 6.5 miles long) pretty much all you could see was the back tire in front of you and dust (fun fact: dust is really unpleasant to have in your mouth).
Kelly tearing it up on her first lap.
The big hill at the very end of the lap, 80ish steep feet right there.
Once we got going though we had a pretty good routine and everyone was happy with there number of laps and I was just glad we didnt finish DFL.
Me, on my last lap, about to hit the final switchback. Note the stuck out arms and super hunched riding position, I was a little tired by then.
Kelly on the high-banked switchbacks. There we 7 or 8 switchbacks on a downhill straight out of a BMX course. SWEEET.
Proper hydration is a must - even at 9am

Widowmaker Hill... And more!
Monday I went out for a quick trip to Tabaguache to do a ride that rode a little bit of almost everything.
"widow maker hill" on the Tabaguache trail, I swear it's actually way steeper than it looks. Really!
The view from the top of the long climb up to Eagles Wing. That's Little Park Rd on the left and the slick rock on the right is where The Ribbon trail begins and it ends up in the wash in the middle of the pic (which is a solid 500' down).
Another shot from the tippy-top of Eagles Wing. On the bright side it's all downhill from here.
A great little ride with the ten-ish mile round trip ride out. Check it...
