Mountain Biking Madness

Saturday, July 12, 2008 7:42 PM by shawn.tomlinson

Greg came out an over the July 4th holiday and we decided to head up to Winter Park ski resort for some good ol' fashioned mountain biking.  Well, as it turns out, it was pretty hardcore.  They rent full body armor with the bikes now.  That got me a little worried.  Although I came out unscathed, my Dad didn't fair so well.  He took a pretty hard fall and got some bruised ribs.  They rate mountain bike trails similar to ski trails, with greens, blues, and black diamonds.  Winter park only has blues and blacks for mountain biking.  I will leave you with a few photos, check out the gallery for more.  Oh yeah, on a side note, I played soccer last night for the first time since the infamous ankle injury.  Marisa was not too elated by my decision to play, but I am glad to report that everything went smoothly, and my ankle felt great.  We won 5-1 and I scored 3 goals, so I was pretty happy with the outcome.  I may join a league, as long as Marisa doesn't kick me to the curb for doing it.  Oh yeah, mountain biking pictures......

Body Armor!

Nice view Thane!

One of the easy parts

California Trip

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 7:26 PM by shawn.tomlinson

Well, I flew back to California last weekend for Brian's bachelor party.  We went to Pala casino near Temecula.  The trip was great!  I golfed 3 days out of the 4 days that I was there.  I love golf and I am excited about finding cool courses in Colorado.  I have picked up this nasty slice on drives.  It is awful, I hit the ball hard and far, but it is often ends up on the fairway to the right.  I need to fix it, bad.  I am going to hit the driving range, since it is on my way home from work.  Anyways, back to the California trip.  It was great being back for a couple days.  I enjoyed the wonderful traffic that hasn't dissappeared.  It was also blazing hot, like 101 on Friday.  I realize, I despise hot weather.  Nothing makes me more angry then 100 degrees.  You can't do squat outside, and I love being outside.  We golfed on Friday and I almost became a carcass on the fairway.  Thankfully, colorado summers rarely see 100.  I am glad to be back.  Brian is moving out here in June, and he wants to be my neighbor.  Not sure how I feel about that, but we'll find out soon enough :)

Well, I am rambling, so I will leave you with a photograph of a couple of pals. I have updated our photo gallery, so check them out by clicking photo gallery above.
