What a weekend! With over 80 degrees in Seattle it looked like the middle of August, but it still felt like this could be our last hurray of the summer. The leaves are turning colors and it is getting cooler at night. I got to do a couple of my favorite things last weekend – ride my bike and watch football. And it was perfect for that.
We finished the second day of MS 150 charity ride on Sunday with 70 miles in 3:30 h. After doing 95 miles in 5:08 on Saturday over some hilly terrain Sunday was reasonably easy. MS Society had a great turn-out up in Mount Vernon, with all the big sponsors represented – Microsoft, Starbucks, Point B, Kibble & Prentice, etc. Our Byrne Invent team did well and raised over $17k and I personally want to thank all the folks who sponsored me – over $6k! Maybe a small amount of the $1.4 million they raised with this ride, but important none-of-the-less. Let’s find a cure soon!
We were able to watch our UW Huskies win their first football game in over a year and they did it the old Husky way with intensity and passion. Next week against USC will be a little tougher, but the fans are back! Also watched UCLA and Rick Neuheisel get a win at Tennessee and USC beat Ohio State. Then Sunday it was the Seahawks starting the season off with a win. Matt Hasselback and the defense looked pretty good.
More football in 2 days than I watched in a long time – probably due to the fact that I was tired from the ride and that Michael is laid up on the couch with a broken ankle. I could do this most weekends, but I know he is tired of sitting on his rear end! Time to get him back to school!
Does anybody have a huge plate and 8 screws in their foot? Does it set off the airport metal detectors?
