All Smiles

Girl power.......way to go! As soon as she reached the top of Seeley fire tower hill, I praised her for the lovely skirt look! I also gave her credit for biking the 40 miles along the Birkie trail. Very nice.

Colors Unfolding

Our fall season is progressing quickly. Trees are beginning to turn color, and the mornings are much cooler now. Harder to get a bike ride in, but we'll figure it out....might have to settle for weekend rides.

Chequamegon Fat Tire

Chequamegon Fat Tire.....40 miles of grass, gravel, double track, rocks, and some mud.
We headed up to Northern Wisconsin to set up on top of Seeley fire tower hill to cheer on the racers. Race day started out cool, but sunny. Becca, Chris and Trisha joined in the fun. Noting like breakfast on the campstove!
The first racers showed up before noon and kept coming, and coming and coming. Tandems, hardtails, suspensions, single speeds and pugsleys (saw two)!
Nice day for a race with the early morning sun and warm tempteratures.
Ended our race watching with a nice camp-food cookout around the fire. Camping with family is the best.
One campsite with three tents. Not bad for this time of the year. You can't beat fall camping....no bugs, no ticks, just lots of cool crisp air.
Perch Lake proved quiet and peaceful, especially with the early morning sun. A great weekend to get away....I really needed it.
