Chillin in CH....daily!

Another week passed with 12 hour workdays, a short trip to Germany, and a nice weekend. Saturday turned out to be a nice day with temps in the 60s and the sun shining on the snowy tops of the Swiss Alps. Jay, Tom, and I headed up to Champery for what is probably the final day of VTT this year. We took the normal laps around Les Croset and the single track in Champery.

At the end of the day we rocked one of the cow pastures which Jay didn't like after a little digger:

He hurt his wrist, but nothing big...the sprouts helped:

We made a few more runs and the day was over...tired and stoked:

Sunday turned into a down day with some running in the AM (3 miles), a nap (I have been sleeping horribly) and a little lamb!

Step 4...fall asleep after a big meal ;-)
So after another nice weekend of biking, VTT is a close #2 to skiing. A different feeling but I am on the learning curve right now, so it is cool. My progress from day 1 this year is killer. Thanks Jay for the intro to biking this year...you rock!
This week looks like a trip to the UK on Thursday and then back to DE on Friday. The weekend is still a question mark, but we will see. The snow is coming, so I think a chill weekend is in the plans. Much love to my fams and friends as always...I miss you all! -G
