Is it easy? No. Does it make you appreciate your own dad? Yes. Is it worth the effort involved? Yes - for sure. Pretty incredible stuff.
My Father's Day booty. Some great homemade cards, a bike book, Timex Ironman watch, ceramic flower made by daughter Amy. Not shown, chocolate cake baked by my wife and daughter. Nice, huh?
Father's Day festivities included a quick solo mountain bike ride. Son Ian elected to skip this edition and play inside with sister Amy instead.

Saint Edward State Park holds a yearly beer festival that attracts a big crowd. Photo of festival closing down after a busy weekend. Grass area fenced off, all trails open though. Many people walking the trails, headed to cars parked in surrounding area. Lots of friendly hellos as I cruised by. Maybe it was the beer talking...
Muddy 29er is always a good sign. After the rain yesterday, trails were a bit soupy. Still fun, even when muddy. I'm laying out a loop in my local woods. I turn 50, as in years, next month. I'm planning a bit of a riding party with some friends. 10 miles, 5 laps, 50 miles. 50 for 50. Should be a goof. A painful goof.
With that, Father's Day now officially closes. And not a bad one at that. Back to routine tomorrow...
