Estes Park Weekend

We just spent a weekend away from physical therapy pain, work and life with long time hunting buddies Gary Littlepage and Paul Springer. Thankfully, their counter-balances Meg and Rhonda were there to help keep our sanity.

Every couple of years we head off  to an excellent hide-a-way cabin above Estes Park. 
The goal,,,,,NOTHING.

Rhonda prepares a salad to-die-for on evening one.

Friday was a slow day getting ready for a 7:30am workout with my ASTYM http://www.astym.com/ therapist, Shane of Cornerstone Physical Therapy.  Lot's of fun on the journey to a quick recover for the plantar faciitis I whined about in the earlier post.  No pain -no gain.



Major "Nook" time for Teresa



The only focal point of the weekend was a gut-filling appointment with the Dunraven Restaurant specializing in Italian cuisine on Saturday night.  Mission accomplished

Everyone there is in the medical business besides me so there is the usual talk of current age related issues, Obama-care and the fact that we are all thankfully welcoming Gary into his 7th year of beating prostrate cancer.  Pays to be a stubborn Yankee. 

 Not a lot to do with cycling this week but that may be the point.  Winter time will be spent off the bike preparing for the upcoming race season through PT, spin classes and re-building the old body.





Meg and Gary are retired and busier than ever.  The couple squeezed in a trip down the Danube River in Germany between an Arkansas relative visit and son's wedding in 2010.

Life, animals and people are good in Colorado.....



Crap! that rowdy old bunch from Denver is here again!!
