Mike signed up for the Tour de Steamboat bike race with his coworker Sean. Sean has the sweetest 6 year old daughter Neave, of course she and Jak and Lillian became best friends instantly. We hit the Steamboat rodeo moments after arriving into town. The rodeo takes place every Friday night in the summer and it is quite an attraction for the locals and tourists. It drew a huge crowd! The kids had the opportunity to go out in the arena and chase a sheep, the kid who snagged the ribbon off the sheep's tail won a FM Light gift certificate. Our kids didn't win, but they didn't get trampled either so I guess that's good!
Mike's bike race was a success, he enjoyed riding with Jacque again (a friend of his boss EJ's who rode in the Tour de France once upon a time). Jacque gave him a few tips on riding and bike mechanics. And Mike had enough energy to hike to the top of the Steamboat ski trails with me the next day. It was a great hike up the mountain and we got to take the Gondola down (a time saver and knee saver too!). Overall beautiful weekend get-a-way.
