For those of you who have visited, here is an update on the couch improvements...

John and I went to Fruita, next to Grand Junction, on Monday to mountain bike. I figured since it was going to be in the 50s here, I might as well enjoy temps in the 60s in the desert just a couple hours away. The riding rocked, was challenging and fun, and I got sun for sure (a bit pink afterward). Below: Don't Fall Here!

The cacti were purple, some just starting to turn green. The air was full of juniper aroma. Mmm.
We experienced a new kind of terrain- "bike path beaten by cows when muddy." The ultimate washboard experience. I am surprised our bikes stayed in one piece. John's seat did come loose, making for a more than usual uncomfortable experience along this section of trail.
I only bit it once, trying to take a steap down-hill slowly and then obviously doing something wrong. Better than the last time I went riding!
On the way back through Fruita, we passed some completely abandoned large houses. Creapy. There is a ton of stalled building projects in this area.
I guess that is it for now. A busy week ahead. Hope you are enjoying.
