Where in the World is Wilton Loop

My apologies but this post is long overdue as well ( moving, wedding planning... yada yada :)

Anyways on 7-17 Cycle Folsom - resplendent in the new kit left Karen's bakery on a search for Wilton. The Peloton and Performance groups were together on the ride and we had a few new comers (Meagan and Ashton - I hope I spelled that right?) The ride took us out Sibley and Scott Rd. Then Latrobe and Dillard into Wilton.

Graham's son - with his new driver's license was a blessing with water for all at the Gas station at Wilton Rd and Grantline Rd. The ride soon split into a couple of groups each choosing their own Pace. Dan was along and was doing a fantastic job coaching and cheering on the slower riders. It was good to see you Dan!

After the Waterstop... the pace kicked up on Grantline and over to the South Folsom canal for an average of over 22mph for the return leg. Dan leg the group in pacelining practice and the odd sprint attack. The ride ended with a nice 15-18 pace back to Karen's bakery on the trail.

Although the day was hot we were lucky with a bit of an early breeze and completion o f the ride back before the heat really settled in.

Callison Road loop including Indian Hill and Shirland tract this coming Saturday.. 7:30 start time at Karen's.

keep on spinnin'

Got our new House!

Sorry for the delays in blogging... we have been riding but also caught up in wedding planning, venue hunting, house packing and getting Lisa's daughter's chihuahua's all ready for their journey up to Alaska

But on Friday we picked up the keys to the 3 bedroom+ Den, 3 bath home in the West Roseville area that we are renting for the next few years while we save for a home.

We brought over a few few personal items, set up a bathroom and the wine rack(!) and put down some runners to protect the floors while we move in.

Moving will be a slow drawn out affair with some moving happening the weekend of the 7th Aug and most of it on the 21st.

We are excited to set up a new home together and Lisa is looking forward to getting her green thumb in action :)

House warming plans to be announced when we are settled :)
