I'm bringing my own bike this year. Decided to do that since it was a bit sketchy last year trying to borrow one.

Bike is packed and I'm ready to go. I'm bringing my swimsuit in my carry-on this year!! :)

See you tomorrow.

Four of the WOMENS are at Xantusia!!! The wine is open, Bjorn is in hiding, Monty cooked dinner. But where is SALLYSHORTPANTS???? Where are you?

Did my first ride since last October today. Silly me - I decided to follow Dan and Cathy. Stupid big climb in the middle of a 2+ hour ride. Glad I did it and it feels great now, but it kinda sucked in the middle of that climb.

Now we're chillin' and recuperating. Might do a hike later at the punchbowl.

2 hrs after not having been on a bike since Oct., nice!

Hi to you all from Maine :P

Went to the Palmdale Pool with Monty and the Ladieeeeeeez.

If I had water that nice at home, I would never leave - permanently resign my life to growing gills.

The horses are pretty cool too. Haven't enjoyed them for decades and forgot how much I enjoy a hay-eating animal.

The weather was really nice today. Beautiful sun, warm for riding, but not too hot. A bit windy, but that's to be expected out here. Tomorrow is not supposed to be as nice. Chance of rain. Saturday/Sunday back to nice weather again.

Oh man, that sucks that the HT is broken...

Funny, for a person who pretty much avoids swimming, I miss that gorgeous pool in Palmdale!

There are now TWO pools in Palmdale!

Last full day of camp today. I can't get adjusted to this time zone. Up at 5:20 today. Ugh!

Yesterday was pretty chilly. We're all hoping the sun comes out today. We did a trail run at Jackson Lake yesterday and then a short ride. Tried to get up to the jail, but my legs would only allow me to go halfway. Two of the ladies went the whole way and two of us turned back at the halfway point. I guess 2 days in a row of 5 mile climbing is not in the cards for me given the sad shape I'm in.

Today a bunch are heading over to Santa Clarita to swim since the local pools are closed on Saturday. Cathy and I are planning to ride.

Is the coffee ready?

Yep :)

Where are the pics of everyone lounging around, relaxing, drinking margaritas, etc., so that those of us who aren't there can live vicariously? :D

I just posted a bunch of pictures from Dawn's and my ride today. Three hours down in the desert in the wind.

There hasn't been a lot of lounging thus far. The margaritas are just now starting to be made, so perhaps there will be some good pictures later... ;-)

SWEET!! :-) Let the real training begin!

And Cathy, great pics. Reminds me of my damn eternal quest for wildflowers every time I'm in CA visiting my brother. Looks like some nice riding!

Today was a really good ride. A bit windy, but it's the desert.

We are on the second pitcher of margaritas and just watched the SLOWTWITCH video.

I should have listened to Monty when he warned us about that last pitcher of margaritas. Let's just say it was one too many. Today is going to suck. I feel like crap.

Good times last night, though. It was great seeing you again, Kylie.
