Man Trip, Day #3

It was finally time to face our worst fears -- were any of us actually up to biking Slickrock, the most famous of all mountain biking trails? As we remarked on the ride -- it's a nice hiking trail. And as another great philosopher once remarked, a man's got to know his limitations.

Man Trip, Day #2

After an evening of some beer and hackysack (it turns out thay on't go together so well), we got up early for a day of canyoneering. Our guid, Scott, took us through two canyons. The first was a dry canyon that featured some scrambling, bits of climbing, hidden arches, and some nice rappels.







The second canyon necessitated wetsuits. Most of the holes were shallow enough for wading, but the last one was deep enough to require swimming, and the water was cold!

Man Trip, Day #1

The inaugral man trip - a chance to relive high school, but with beer and cash for expensive adventure endeavors. As Jake said, "why did it take us thirteen years to organize this?"

We started the day off with some extensive driving from Denver to Moab. Actually, Jake drove while Ehrin and Nardo took turns sleeping. But onc we awoke, the power of Monster energy drink, a Nuclear concoction, and dill pickle chips fueled us all the way to Moab, aka the greatest place to mountain bike on earth.




But mountain biking had to wait until the last day - the inaugral activity was to rent a 4x4 Jepp Rubicon that was, thankfully, trail rated. And boy, we needed some serious trail rating. Jak swears he didn't pee his pants, but i'm not so sure.

Santa Cruz Boardwalk

We spent the ultimate cheesy Sunday on the Santa Cruz boardwalk. Activities included bumper cars, two haunted houses (on was MUCH scarier than the other), Dance Dance Revolution, and Crazy Taxi.

Tandem Biking in SF

Who says San Francisco is foggy? We had perfect weather the whole time we were there. We'll see if it's still sunny when we move there in a few months...
