3rd Annual Cruise-a-Thong - A Race For The Average Joe

Last weekend we went down to check out the 3rd Annual Cruise-a-Thong - A Race For The Average Joe. The paper called it "A grueling and epic race of hilarious proportions" Check out the article in the Pagosa Sun The Cruise-a-Thong is a triathlon designed for the not-quite-hardcore athlete in all of us. The course takes approximately two hours and includes a cruiser bike tour of downtown Pagosa Springs, a thong (flip-flop) walk up the almost world famous Pagosa Springs Riverwalk and a tubing trip back down the San Juan River. The Winner is the participant with the most average time taking into account bonus points for consumption of edibles, the subjective preferences of the judges, gears on the race bike in excess of 1, and any sandals lost during the race.

In an effort to be more gender-inclusive, race organizers have changed the winner’s title from “Average Joe” to “Average Jo.”)

Dave Bellina, in an astounding display of adequacy, won the prestigious and storied Cruise-a-Thong cruiser bicycle (donated by John Dean of Pagosa Outside) for one year.

It looked like so much fun, we are doing it next year. We have several other friends who are going to join us. If anyone else is interested, the official web site is http://www.cruiseathong.com/

Below is a short video of some of the highlights.

Wednesday Volleyball Evening

As most of you know, we have a group that plays volleyball on Wednesday evenings over at Mac and Maria's. We play a lot, drink a lot, then eat and drink a lot more afterwards. I have been sidelined with a sprained ankle the past two weeks of volleyball, so this past week, I decided to take some photos while watching from the sidelines.
Enjoy!

Stuff him Ann!


Wow, that's some serious air!


Again, way up high!

July 4th in Pagosa

This morning we went down to watch the July 4th parade, well at least I went to watch, Muriel had another way she wanted to experience the parade! Thought I would share some pictures (ok a lot of pictures) so you can see what a small town parade is like.
Wait a minute, is that Muriel?

It sure looks like her.


Well, what do you know, it is her!
