There was something terribly intriguing about Stephanie's essay titled, "I stole my first bike" that captured our attention. Although it was her description of her transformation from utilitarian riding to a true love affair with her bike that sealed the deal. Stephanie's story is familiar to many of us at Trek, from saving money for six months for a new set of wheels that cost more than her first car, to the Zen feeling she gets from truing a wheel. And only after two years of riding she says, "I know what cadence means, how many watts is a lot. I can fix a flat in my sleep and tell the difference between a pinch flat and goat head at 50 yards." Clearly she fell in love with cycling hard and fast. But her husband fully supports her cycling affair.
With her recent move from Idaho to Minnesota, she is expanding her horizons quickly to city riding and cruising the river bottom trails. Without a doubt you too will be intrigued by Stephanie's cycling journey from utilitarian riding in College to a true love affair on and off the road only two years later.
Here are a few things we did this weekend that involved snow:
1) Cross country skiing
2) Sledding
3) Boot Hockey
4) Snow shoeing
5) Built an igloo
6) Spun our car off the road and got it stuck in the snow
There are the things we did this weekend that did not involve snow:
1) Exploded a pie in the oven
2) Bathed in a Sauna (technically it involved snow too since we had to go outside to get to the sauna)
As you can see we had a weekend full of snow. Thanks to our friends Randy and Chrissy (and Randy's Parents) for inviting us up to their cabin. We had so much fun!
