^9-26-2015. We had a fun group ride in San Diego this morning with a tasty lunch afterwards at Stone Brewing Co Bistro. We had a couple of newbies with us who did great. One got a rear flat but our organizer, Chris, got it fixed for her and we finished the ride.

I've had the Jeep over a year and a half and this is the first time I washed it myself. 
Actually, I'm proud how good she is at taking care of her car - even if it does smell of horse stuff. Well since Rick works at the dealership, I don't have to worry about scheduling oil changes...Rick deals with the car stuff, I deal with prescriptions, fiances and scheduling our social calendar.

Just added washed my own car to the list. Rick has plenty on his "to do" list and my Jeep was looking sad.
Hand washed and dried. Got a bit of a workout as I need the step stool to reach the roof and the hood.
I'm sure it's not up to "car guy" specs, but it's clean, not loaded with water spots and the bird mess is gone.

Two of my cyclist friends and I mimicked the "Leadville Loop" yesterday which is also known as the “Copper Triangle Ride”. It was a beautiful ride with the Aspens in their fall colors.
I haven’t cycled as much as years past and it showed – I was exhausted when I reached the summit of Fremont Pass outside of Leadville, CO.
The ride began at the Copper Mountain Resort over Fremont Pass past the Climax Molybdenum mine into the town of Leadville. It then descends until climbing Tennessee Pass and Battle Mountain Pass into Minturn, CO, the lowest point of the ride. The ride then ascended Vail Pass where we dropped back into the Copper Mountain Resort.
According to my bike’s CycleOps computer we traveled 87.8 miles with a gross climb of 7,156 ft. Our maximum altitude was 11,325 ft.

I spent the day in the garage with numerous other car club members working on a young guy's MGB. Sadly it was one of those car's that a decent paint job that hide a really rusted out piece of crap. But we got his engine & trans fluid changed, new rebound straps on the rear axle, etc. At the last one they set his valves, timing, plugs, etc. The one before that we got his brakes all working.

Well, the weekend was wonderful. Mother's burial at Arlington Cemetery was unlike any before. The rep allowed us to view the interment of the urn. After that we were free to make our remarks and hang out for as long as we wanted, which ended up being more than an hour. That never happens because at burials during the week, they move them along with military precision (which happened with my dad's, lasting about 14 minutes total). Sat burials are different. Only allow urns on Sat and there are no honor guards, etc. One friend who was there said it was the best he had ever attended. Many people spoke after my brother's, sister's and my remarks. At the memorial dinner last night, more shared memories. Mother and Dad would have been very pleased. 
Today many of us went out to the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum at Dulles, a very cool place. I took pics, so will post a few tomorrow.
