Tentative TAD Schedule

Hey all-- here is our schedule as of last week-- It is true that some of our plans can possibly change mid summer, depending on any sort of circumstance that may arise!

Tonight we had dinner with Cari's cousins and her grandmother-- Apparently, it was Clare's birthday!!! It wasn't really, but she totally enjoyed the flan AND the mariachi band!

Tomorrow is my last AZ day-- looking forward to a nice easy 2hr spin and an Arizona Wildcat B-ball game! Cari's Grandma has excellent season tickets (for the past 25 years...). Also, we'll probably have Mexican food for the 4th night in a row! I guess I just can't get sick of it! Too good! :)

Until later...Kate

Week Wrap-Up

Here are some photos from last week!

Our up Oracle Hwy-- to the Biosphere 2! Rebecca-Bunny-Missy-Cari-Kate!

Remember Mt. Lemmon? This is only one tiny section of road... but you can imagine the descent--- and the climb. 7,000'+ or climbing for that day. My legs are still burning. Being a flatlander, a 23 mile climb was incomprehensible to me. I was in for a surprise!

We made it to the top and came upon this ski hill. As much as I love skiing, I just couldn't fathom the thought of putting on a pair of sticks to shred the ice sheet that blanketed the top of this mountain! Someday maybe! Interestingly enough, the ski hill at the top of Mt. Lemmon has 425 vertical feet MORE than Chestnut. Weird. Anyhow, I think that Chestnut does have more skiable acres, though...

Here we are! We went for a ride and found that we could get an excellent view of the 17th green at Dove Mountain. Click here to see the final results.
In the photo: Me, Clare, and Cari. and TIGER Woods and Aaron Baddeley.
Here's Tiger...

The last day of the tournament-- We rode over to the course and waited only 8 mins for Tiger to come through! Missy and I watching the action. We had a great view!

Week 3 of our Tucson Excursion.

I'm hanging out here, Cari just took one load of stuff to her Grandma's house-- which will be our home until Friday! Clare is still sleeping.

Everyone went home, and the 'Boulder Crew' is all that is left in Tucson... Rebecca, Bunny, and Missy-- we miss you already! We had a great week-- 18 hours on the bike, 14,442' of climbing. I think the highlight ride of the week was defiantly climbing Mt. Lemmon (a 24 mile CLIMB, with a rockin descent!). Another more interesting happening was seeing Tiger Woods at the 17th green, twice. We took some photos both time and I will post them soon!

Until later.
