Two Months have passed Yikes!

Well it seems like it has gone by too fast or maybe not I am not sure or care to try and figure it out. Here is what I have been up to I hope you enjoy and I also hope that the www will be around long enough so that I may look back some day and enjoy as well.

June 16th 2007 - Cascade bicycle Club Flying Wheels Summer Century (metric century for us) Bits, Joe, and myself. It was a good training ride and a fun day to be out. I recently purchased a new (to me) bike and was testing it out for the upcoming Seattle to Portland bike ride. It worked out well and I should have kept it but instead I sold it which turned out to be a mistake which you can read about it later down the page. More pictures available at the one and only Kintty Bits







June 23rd 2007 - Darrington, Wa Climbing Silent Running 5.9+ This was a fun multi-pitch climb I think about 500 feet. I even almost lost the bottom of my shoe thank your god for athletic tape. The climb pretty much follows the blank wall right up the middle and then a bit left. Another point of interest some of the bolts on this one were well let us just say they were recalled about 20 years ago they seemed bomber to me pause pause pause pause pause NOT.

















July 14th and 15th - Seattle to Portland Bike ride!
Well Bits does a most excellent job of describing this event IMHO she left out the best pic. I also owe her for her most outstanding efforts in towing me in the last 8 or so miles. With out her I would probably still be walking to Portland and I am forever grateful.















July 21st and 2nd - Tieton River Climbing with Joe
Joe and I check out a new area after much debate about where we could find the perfect ratio of good weather and low numbers of people! Well we lucked out and found a pretty good ratio. We got our crack fix in for awhile and again thank your god for athletic tape. No that is not Humpty Dumpty!


















June 29th- Bike ride to Marmot with bits
We took a bike ride over to Marmot to pick up a Whiz kid Harness for our upcoming trip to NJ where we plan on taking our little nieces climbing. Below I was trying to get in some reps while bits used the rest room. Check out that bike skirt(hand made by bits).
