..in summary

Seems like forever since I’ve posted, but it’s really just been a bit over a week.  I guess I’ve just been busy.  Figured rather then doing a few different posts, I could do a quick summary of what’s being going.  We’ll try to include a few pictures, to keep the reading/looking ratio on the easy side.

On Thursday, after months of planning, talking and tweaking, we finally launched the new MMBA website.  It’s considered to be a soft launch, as there was (and is) still content being backfilled, some components that need to be modifed or written, and a skinning of the complete site that has to happen.  But considering it’s the slow season, and we were ready to get the majority of the site moved and working, it was time to do it.  The errors we were getting on the old site just was getting to be too much.  So long, Critical PHP Error!

Marty and I, and a few of our freinds, hit Stony Creek for some hiking and dog walking again this weekend.  Kim and Jan kicked the pace up a bit, but I think we successfully learned to get in front and block them not long into the hike.  They enjoyed the slower pace, once they realized that everything doesn’t blur when you relax and enjoy the hike.. ;)

As you can see by the end of the hike, the snow started to come down, and Marty and I started to ice up a bit.

Chilli, on the other hand, kept moving enough to keep the snow melted off.

..and just a beautiful shot of the St Clair River I stopped and took on the way into work this morning.  I’ll try to grab some nice freighter shots in the near futre.  The sun coming up over this river in the winter is breathtaking sometimes.

Stony Hike

Jon suggested taking a hike at Stony on Saturday, since the weather was going to be nice.  So 6 people and 4 dogs met at the F Lot trailhead, and we got in about 90 minutes of hiking and enjoying the weather, and wore the dogs out.

Burgers and beers at the Shamrock after.

Cool Weather, Cool Ride

Marty and were able to get out of the house relatively early this morning (a bit before 10AM) and head out to Stony Creek for a ride.  The weather was beautiful, the trail was in great condition (after getting some much needed rain earlier this week)  We were able to ride the course for the XC race tomorrow, and get in a little over 10 miles.

I’ve been getting out and putting some miles onto my CX bike locally, and finally getting some consistant riding in made a difference.  I felt better on a bike then I have in a few months.  It takes some time to climb out of the hole, but it’s worth in once you start to get back into shape.

Couple of pictures from this morning after the break.
