Cactus Corner: Conquered.

After countless attempts on the mountain bike to round a tight, uphill, cactus-flanked corner on BCLP over the last few months, I finally did it yesterday! Jordan and I headed out for a laid-back ride in the evening and he was able to show me how it's done. Every time I am in BCLP I am amazed by all of the open space and the creek running through it -- it's something I would have conjured up as a kid as absolute paradise. It's awesome to be able to appreciate it on a near daily basis as a 23-year-old kid.

Massive festivities were planned of the evening, as I very much anticipated Germany taking the Euro Cup title, but such fate was not in the cards. That didn't stop me from cooking up some spaetzle and rouladen and Jordan and I from dining like koenige.
