Christmas



The highlight of christmas was seeing my dads face when he saw the present that my mom got him, a new Surly Pugsley!! By far the best present that i have had part in giving to someone.

Thank you Bike Hub for jumping through a few hoops to pull this off!

Training

Not training for racing but training for fire fighting.

Here are some pictures to show the progress of the fire when we let in engulf, (there would be more pics of the whole house on fire but I had to get on the hose with a fog stream to protect the trucks and the people standing around, we think its hot in the summer on a bike, try standing next to this for 30 seconds haha)



Before we let it go we did scenarios where we set a room on fire, let it get going good, then a crew would go in and put it out. We did this until the upper level was about to give out. It is a great opportunity to see what a fire looks like and how it will react so that you can know what to expect in a real fire.
