Chilly Hilly For Three

On Sunday, February 24th, Riley, JP and I partook in another fun Bainbridge Island cycling tradition...THE CHILLY HILLY! A fun ride around the island consisting of thirty three miles, plenty of hills and winter weather. Lucky for us the weather was one our side. Here we are at mile five.

Tahoe Touring

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to hop a plane to Lake Tahoe, California to join up with four of my good buddies and both of Caitlin's brothers. The official theme of the weekend was "Bachelor Party" but in reality, it was seven snow-loving hombres ready to get after it.

The snow wasn't plush but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that skinning in a t-shirt isn't half bad. We did three consecutive days of touring hitting Mount Rose, Jake Peak, and Rubicon Peak. Our final day on Rubicon was one of my favorite days of skiing ever. We found an amazing stash of snow up high and skiing down through the trees with the guys has never felt so fluid. It's a weekend I won't soon forget.

Not a bad way to spend the day!

Thank you so much to Adam, Alex, Jack, John, Justin, and Will for an amazing weekend.
