Holland Hundred, July 19, 2008

Dirt Dads Harv, Tim, Bob, & Brian rode 100 miles in the annual Holland Hundred bicycle tour. See the link at the left for more info on this ride. We rode with friends Gene & Tom. I don't have any photos to prove it but 80-90% of the tour was in the rain. Bob flatted once but congratulations goes to Tim for having to change out 3 flats, 2 of them at the same time! Tim, maybe you can submit a photo of the 3 flat tubes.

Thanks, JP, for loan of the helmet!

Fort Custer, Saturday, July 12

It was a gloomy start of the day but we (Tim, Brad, Harv, & JP) somehow talked ourselves into believing that the rain would stay south of our Fort Custer ride. But the rain came down hard as we drove south in Harv's manly Mazda minivan. Again, we hoped the rain would miss Fort Custer and kept driving. We were encouraged that the rain did stop and, upon arriving at the trailhead parking lot, unloaded and looked forward to a great morning of mountain biking.

The rain started slowly after about 10 minutes of riding and continued for most of the morning. Even when the rain stopped, you can see from the photos that the trail ride was a slickfest. Can you name those legs? When will we grow up? Lunch at Nina's in Augusta was great, as usual.

Eric & Jamie are married Saturday, July 5

Eric & Jamie were married at Above & Beyond in Muskegon in a awesome outdoor ceremony with beautiful weather. The reception was great. The food was great, too. Thanks for a great time. It was a lot of fun considering no bikes were involved!

Eric & Jamie, we wish you the best in your new life together. We'll miss you. Eric, join us for a couple more rides before heading to Florida.

More photos of the wedding & reception will soon be at the PHOTOS link to the left.

It was a great ride on Cannonsburg State Game Area (Egypt Valley) this past Monday. It was Eric's last ride as a single Dirt"Dad". We celebrated with a cookout of brats, chicken, and hot dogs. Senior Dirt Dad JP at the grill. At left is Josh, Bob, Brad, JP, Harv, Eric, Brian, & Tim.
