The NW is on ice!

First of all. . . .Merry Christmas! This tree is made completely of Mt. Dew cans! I thought it was pretty sweet. No I didn't make it.

Brady's Dad Doug was up over the Thanksgiving holiday and we decided to get out and do a quick ride. I haven't been on a bike in like 3 months, but I've been running, playing b-ball and football off and on, so I didn't suffer too much. This is at the top of Gimpl Hill which is a good mile climb or so. I realized I don't have my climbing legs anymore. I gotta start training a bit more, but it's tough with the weather being like it is. It's been snowing off and on all week!

Here's Brady and I at the start of our ride. I shed my jacket about 5 min into the ride.

Brady was brave enough to pull out his camera and snap a pic. He broke his camera doing this last year. I guess he didn't learn his lesson. I couldn't quite get my "bunny ears" over his helmet, but I look pretty cool anyway!

Above all I've learned that NW people don't know how to do anything in the snow/ice. The whole world has shut down due to the weather. Brady and I were talking and neither of us could remember school ever being cancelled due to snow when we were growing up.
