Yeah man, we have got kick ass neighbors. Just next to us, David and Kathleen rode up Mt Evans this past weekend, which is no easy task for anyone, much less a couple who are probably in their 50’s - kudos to them!! And then across the street we have Shawn and Alison who are also outdoorsy people, ride rad cruisers from New Belgium Brewery, have a large stash of New Belgium Brews on hand, AND have a sweet, sweet dog. Besides being totally cool people, they have a great back porch that can accommodate a lot of people for BBQ’s and parties (4th of July, baby!). Just last night, this said back porch was designated as the summer community porch by those of us who were there admiring the views and sharing a glass or two of beer and wine. Next door to Shawn and Alison is another outgoing couple, Abby and Ray, who round out our little social corner of the neighborhood. They’ve got the hot tub so you better bet we’ll be there on cool summer nights and after long winter rides to indulge ourselves in some steamy pleasure!!

In the meantime, I fly off tomorrow to Minnesota for the Nature Valley Grand Prix. And from there I’ll head south to my parent’s house to give them both some reprieve around the house and a fresh face before they start to go crazy with each other!
