Rose = a road biker?
June 30, 2009
Yes, I’m a road biker — when my bike boss tells me I am! LOL
I did have the hottest road bike in town though . . . complete with a “Jake the Snake” sticker on it (I borrowed it from my friend Bill, who has like 20 bikes)!
Anyway — here are some bullet points from the past week!
Tue – Biked along the Firehole River with a hawk, checked out the many beautiful geysers & watched silly people try to get cuddly with Buffalo (34 miles)
Wed – Hucked up the Continential Divide (elevation of 2,300 feet) & started reading the book my momma gave me: Be Your Own Matchmaker (I am officially in “boy detox” for 60 days now because of this book LOL) (48 miles)
Thurs – Visited the Canyon, saw a grizzly bear & was invited by the guides on mountain bike/camping trip to Moab to do the White Rim in November (36 miles)
Fri – Biked in pouring down rain for half the day, ate yummy pizza at Dornan’s & made BANK in tips at trip end! (54 miles)
Sat – Caught up on emails & work, admired my new sunny yellow door & went to a Laff Staff comedy performance with my friend Renee
Sun – Went to an outdoor music fest w/Jo & Cat over in Idaho
& today? It was back to biking in paradise of course!
Now the rest of the week consists of working until the holiday weekend appears

Tentsurfing in Colorado!
June 15, 2009
Great times were had @ 10K feet in Colorado!
I was so glad to stop in Denver to see my BF Marti & her family for an evening of catching up on life before camping (plus, she has a hot tub)! Then, I was able to see my friend Bryon & his friend Bonnie at the Couchsurfing event in Fairplay, CO for a few days. We did everything from hiking, lounging in the hot springs, sipping coffee, playing card games in huge tents during major wind/rainstorms, hanging out by the bonfire & meeting a bunch of new couchsurfers! For those of you who do not know what “couchsurfing” is & would like to know — check out www.couchsurfing.com & see what it’s all about!
& now I’m paying for all my play-time, as I’ll be working PAWS 3 days in a row & preparing for next week’s road bike tour (yes, I did say road bike) with a woman’s tour group for 4 days. Happy Monday everyone!

June 7, 2009
Whew — what a month!!
Haven’t posted in a while because my main focus was that project for Mulligan Stew. It’s finally done & now they want to hire me again to do more consulting! My website is almost ready for viewing, I purchased my web address & everything looks pretty cool so far
This month, I was also in a PAWS commercial for local cable (pet tip housing) Click Here to see Video, I went to the Wine Fest (yummy tastings), watched the Memorial Day Parade from my porch with D & Duke, saw the staged gunfight on the town square with people on a retreat, used my friend Cat & her dog Shadow for my next PAWS newspaper article, I mountain bike guided for the 1st time this season & made a $60 tip for a family of 5, and joined Michele in the town of Kelly to support her school’s fundraiser “miles for money.”
So, this week I’m going to Colorado on Wednesday to stay in Denver with Marti & her family for the evening & then I’m headed down to Fairplay (right outside of Breck) for the 1st annual Couchsurfing event! I’ll be camping on a ranch for 4 days in a valley at the foot of 14K peaks (I’ll be @ 8,600 feet — & you thought Jackson Hole was high @ 6,100!). It will be a festival style set up with stages & lots of outdoor things to do! Maybe I can convince them to let me gallop on a horse! LOL Getting away & whooping it up now will be fun before I get super busy this summer 
Happy June y’all!
