Aaron's adventure


Aaron and some of his co workers went mountain biking this weekend. It had been a while since Aaron last went biking, but he was excited to go. They biked the trail called the "Wasatch Ridge." Aaron had quite the adventure. He puked on his shoes, which was only appropriate since he had just finished a big climb called "Puke Hill." He wiped out about 4 times, bent his rear tire, and discovered that his 11 year old bike isn't quite as cool as what we thought it was when we first bought it. He also learned that if you are going to go mountain biking along the Wasatch crest, you need to change out the road tires!!! At the end of the day, after a long bath, lots of ibuprofin, 4 stitches in his elbow, and a good scrubbing of his shoes, he was glad he went.

WOW!!! I hope he has recovered! Why did he get so sick? That must have been quite the adventure!

My husband, Scott, went through this last year. Just about the same experience only without the stitches. And for Christmas, he bought himself a new bike, because he got tired of the guys teasing him about his bike! If he keeps at it, he'll only improve!

That is so gross, but I am sure that Aaron enjoyed every bit of it. Also I would like to comment on how well you have been blogging as of late. Good for you for finding time to keep us up to date on what's going on at the Hall house.
