The Spring Fling continues.....It was my first road ride of the season on Thursday night and it was a perfect evening for a ride. Cycling in April is usually a toe-numbing-blue-lipped-wind-chilling-experience. Instead, I got sunshine, warm evening temperatures, great views and big ol' Bighorns. What a great night, as you can tell by my chitter-chatter I was a happy, silly girl.
I *heart* my bike.

NOW GO RIDE YER' BIKES!!
Let me just start by saying, I have the greatest husband in the world!! After last years hugely successful Anniversary trip to Yosemite National Park, we decided to stick with the National Park theme and visit Grand Canyon National Park. For our 11th Anniversary trip, we enjoyed an amazing few days of sightseeing in both Valley of Fire State Park and the Grand Canyon. As a bonus, Keith offered up the moral support and encouragement for me to go on a very special run: a solo double crossing of the Grand Canyon. Heck yeah, I want to do that!! We flew in to Vegas , got our rental car and got the heck out. We drove straight to Valley of Fire to enjoy a gorgeous afternoon and a clear, sunny, calm day. Keith packed his road bike - he's got a very cool new road bike that - get this - fits in a suitcase! It's a very cool new toy. The last time we were in Valley of Fire, I was the bitch on the back of the motorbike. We loved it, but of course being on the bike we didn't get to enjoy it and just drove through. So this time, Keith had his heart set on a road ride and me, well....naturally, I went for a run. The boy was like a little boy on his bicycle. Happy, happy, happy!Zzzzzzoom.
Happy Keith.
Valley of Fire is a great place to spend a day to explore, it is so amazing. My shoes and socks were FULL of so much red dust that I literally poured it out of my shoes. Keith said the whole trip was worth it just for this day on his road bike. As well as being a gorgeous ride, the road had lots of fun twists and turns and some fun climbs and descents. The boy couldn't stop smiling! We hit Vegas for dinner and headed out for the road trip to the Grand Canyon the next morning.
