Fathers Day

Rode out to Stillwater with about 15 from the team, my daughter, Gabrielle, among the cohorts. Just a beautiful ride and delightful people (I am very fortunate to have so many wonderful friends). We watched the women race up Chilkoot Hill, which has a 20% grade.

After the women finished we decided to head home and found that the weather had turned. Dark clouds, wet roads and two flats were the tale of this ride. Fortunately the thunder and lightning waited until we were all safe at home. 66/16.1
Quickly showered because there was still the best part of the day ahead. Kids and grandlumps were all gathering at Brit and Nate's to celebrate dads. Really good food was provided by the kids. Ethan maned the grill.

Lots of jumping, rolling and playing, with a little fussiness now and then from the babies in the group of grandlumps. But really it was all pure joy. Plenty of hugs, appreciation and love to go around.
I am one very lucky dad.
