2013 Manatoc Experience

Ryan and I made it up to the Cuyahoga Valley for another Manatoc Experience.  It was a fun event to be hanging out and riding with so many other mountain bikers.  We did a couple laps of the course and a couple demo rides of Trek bikes.  A fun time.

 Overlooking the expo area.

 Getting ready to demo ride.

After a long wait for a guy in tube socks and 80's helmet to bring

back this bike in my size, I gave up.  Maybe next time.

Treehouse!

We have been busy building a treehouse.  Well, it's more like a 10' wide deck 8' off the ground between two trees.  The kids are loving it.

Daniel and I slept out in the treehouse over the weekend.  The cows were right below and were full of noises throughout the night.  Don't they sleep?  I kept hearing them getting up/down, eating, and pooping.  It was fun.  I slept good the next night.  :-)

 Testing the slide.

Ready for fun.

Mohican Deer

Came around a corner in the first mile and was face to face

with a deer.  I actually had to yell "move!" before it

walked off the trail and stopped to look at me.

Found some nice fungus.
