The past few days have been nice and relaxing here in the northwoods.  The weather has been great and I have gotten a few good days in on the bike…mainly to offset the calories from mom’s cooking!  Dad even had the privilege of motor pacing me yesterday and he did a good job after he got used the high speeds at which he had to drive his vehicle!

Here are a few examples of what life is like up north…

 Who says cows are happier in California??? Actually, I think the cow on the ground is a California transplant based on the way she is flashing her boobies…or maybe Wisconsin has gotten less conservative of the years?

 Lake Superior…it is cold.

 The city of Washburn (where I went to high school) from the other side of Chequamegon Bay.  On a side note my Grandpa still holds the record for swimming across the Bay!

 Since I am never home for Thanksgiving we had one this evening! (Mom, Brother, Joyce, and Dale).

Tomorrow I head south for the “Giro de Grafton” and Sheboygan crits this weekend which I am excited for. Then back to Boulder on Monday!

later, g.
