Got treated to some great bluegrass music at the Zoo Friday evening by the Greencards. They are two Aussies and a Brit, along with a homegrown guitar player. Interesting that they play traditional American bluegrass. Excellent music and a talented group for sure.

Started out Friday with an early a.m. high intensity ride in the foothills before work. The ride hurt, but man, you just feel so good the rest of the day after a ride like that. Early Saturday Ann and I hit up some of our favorite east mountain trails. Mainly around David and Otero Canyons trying to stay out of the hot sun. Sunday we had a farewell ride for our Friend Matt L who's moving to the Pacific NW. We took him on his favorite route at Cedro, and other than a bunch of folks playing frisbee golf at Oak Flats, we didn't see another person during our 2.5 hour ride.

Sunday eve the FCA-E and BOMB groups headed down to Valley High School to volunteer at the Cherry Garcia 10K race. Mostly we did the water and had games set up for the kids. The race benefitted Joy Junction homeless shelter, and I was really surprised by how many people turned out. Ben and Jerry's supplied ice cream and Pudge Bros. supplied pizza for all the runners. It was pushing 100 degrees, and I was sure glad I wasn't running (wilting) in that kind of heat. Busy weekend, but relaxing at the same time.
