Is this the race to Jackson?

Sat. morning Heidie and I started the Cache Valley Century Ride. We had just left the Rest stop in Preston and we were heading south out of Preston when a (heavy) lady in her bath robe on her front porch yells to us "Hey, is the the race to Jackson?" I was chuckling to myself, "sure it is I am just taking the long way." But I was nice and told her what the event was and that the race to Jackson was in 2 weeks. Anyway it was a good ride. Both Heidie and I have been plagued with knee pain. But the knees help up for the ride. We were definitely the minority on the 100 mile ride. It was interesting to be the only 2 women at the rest stops. Occasionally a lady would come in when we were leaving the rest step.

Last night was the Preston Demolition derby. What a treat. All of Preston's finest come out of the woodwork. The derby is the same, just different scary people that come. JT said he learned last night that you should stay in school and off of drugs!

It has been a crazy week. The kids started school on Thurs. I am now catching up on all that I got behind on in the past month. Shane is really busy with work, which we are very thankful for.
