The school year has begun in earnest. School is so much more fun when the kids are there, but the first day is always a bit awkward since you can't really get started much do to schedule changes and such.
On an entirely different front- Ellie is spending most of the week with friends going around and watching the various stages of the USA ProCycling Challenge. It is hoped that this will become like a Tour de France that takes place in Colorado.
She saw a number of her biking friends in the audience. One of the riders, Danny Summerhill, is a local young man who has been racing in Europe and is in the ranks of this event. He has been a coach at camp for both of my kids. Very cool!
Today they were in Colorado Springs doing a five mile time trial to determine ranking order for starting positions.It was exciting! Ellie and her friends each got a water bottle from one of the riders. She thought that was pretty cool. I included the video to give you a sense of what the ride was like.
