get out of town

S and I finally got out of town this weekend.  We got up early on Saturday and drove to Hurricane..gorgeous 70 degree weather.  We rode on the Hurricane Rim Trail to the Jem Trail and connected back with the Gould Rim trail.

This was the reassuring sign welcoming us to the Gould Rim Trail.

My favorite little treat the 'Honey Stinger Waffles' are so delicious.  S calls my handlebars the pink cockpit.

A much, much needed adventure..can't wait for the next one.

Leadville

This week S and myself found out that we both got into the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race on August 11, 2012. I'm really excited..I didn't really think we'd get in. I've done the race twice before..but I didn't really train for it either time.  So, I'm ready to train, train, train!  I want to race it this time around not just finish.

sunshine and wind

Another great weekend..Geez, where's Winter?  I'm just really hoping Winter doesn't show her face come March or April.  S and I went on some very nice road rides along with some of the strongest headwinds I've ever ridden in.  What doesn't knock you down makes you stronger, right?  That's what I was telling myself when I wanted to get off my bike and huck my bike into the wind.  

I also watched this new song by M.I.A a bunch of times and just about finished up a few new tote bags for the store.

Hope you all had a great weekend.

Etsy

So..I've decided to give the Etsy shop another go. I feel like sometimes I'm not honest with myself about what I really want to do and what I 'think' I'm good at. People are constantly telling me that I should sell my art..so here I go. If your interested take a peek. I have lots more coming soon.

One thing I'm not good at however is photography.  I promise these are much cooler in person.  They look great framed.  I have several in my home.

I'm in the midst of changing things up here on my blog, so stay with me.

you have a golden heart

I whipped this baby up this morning and I'm excited to tote it around. I'm brainstorming on what to try painting next..pillows, clothes, more bags.

post savasana bliss

Last night S, myself and my girlfriend Jessica went to my second class with Abbey at Centered City Yoga.  I am thrilled that I finally made the leap and started going..finally.  I love love love it so much. It's great for my body and my head and I want to continue on continuing on with this yoga thing.

random wanderings

I haven't done a random wanderings post for awhile and since I've been constantly inspired by the artwork I find on Pinterest, I thought I'd post some of my favorites of late.
