Home for the Summer

Finally back from CMU and all unpacked for the summer. What stressful day yesterday moving everything out of the dorms and coming home, definitley glad that is all over with. I am sad too, though, I miss everyone from Central already and it will be different going back next year and seeing all new faces. My depart from CMU was bittersweet, its most definitley nice to be home but also hard to leave all the fun times and memories in the past. Looking forward to visiting everyone over the summer!

Went for my first bike ride of the year today at Maybury, it was nice to get out on the bike again. DNR made a lot of nice changes to the trail this year which made it longer and definitley more challenging. A few new switchbacks were added and a huge new uphill towards the end of the trail makes it much more difficult than what it used to be.

After the ride, I took my two sisters to see the new Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movie, New York Minute. And I know all of you are probably wondering why I went to see that type of movie. Well, I knew my sisters wanted to see it so I thought it would be a nice gesture and plus it was a chance for some good sibling bonding time. I then went out to dinner at Western with my grandparents and family who I hadn't seen in a while.

Mother's day tomorrow, so the family has a brunch planned and then I'll probably hit the trails again. Its my summer goal to ride at least once a day, we'll see how that goes! Then its back to work at the bike shop on Monday, 40 hours a week here I come!
