 | Hang gliding! (West Rutland) 10:59  | |
| shoes: Wal*Mart Carson |
| Got out of the truck at the hairpin when we stopped to strap some gliders down better, and then just took off up the road on foot and tried to stay ahead. I had enough of a head start that I easily reached the top first. Then after flying for 95 minutes, I ran back to the parking lot to get the car. Busy day up there, lots of gliders in the air, and it was pretty crowded in the setup area. Looks like I'm about 5 minutes short of a total of 24 hours of airtime. |

| 25 years ago today, I entered Colorado for the first time in my life, by bicycle, on US36. As has been reported elsewhere, my first impression was that it looked a lot like Kansas. |

| Yeah, a solid week with nothing resembling exercise. Even though my brother (and family) came to town, and he spent four days doing intense bicycle racing, and working as the race announcer on top of that. I'm not going to log the lawn mowing that I did, or the sprinting on Saturday as I was showing Stephen how to operate a bicycle with derailleurs and chasing him up and down the street (his opinion: "I like gears!"), or the "hang gliding" yesterday that consisted of setting up the glider in my yard, and doing a couple of runs (without harness) down the slope in back, just fast enough to get it up off of my shoulders for the family to see (the neighbor did come by and offer to chop down a couple of decorative saplings so that I could fly into his yard!). We'll see if I can get some kind of aerobic activity in this week, although the forecast seems to be better for making corpse flowers bloom than it is for heavy breathing. Maybe I'll be lucky and can get airborne. |
