Day 5 - Multi Sport Day

Brad is OK


Brad is OK,
He had a good Day.

Road his bike to Rowena,
then stoped for a pee ahhhh.

Biker Dave went for a ride,
Found Brad's rig on the road side.

Brad's rig he did deliver,
a site that made us all shiver

The sail was a wreck
but what the heck

He bought a new sail
No more did he wail

Big party at three rivers,
to celebrate Brads new Quivers.

Brad Had a good Day
Brad is OK.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Had a very lazy start to the day. Nothing really happened until after 1:00.
Everyone sort of went their separate ways. It was a real solo day for me.
Multi sport for almost everyone.




Misha, Kent, Cam and Mortiz went to post Canyon to mountain bike, and Brad, Mike, Blain, Andreas and Harold went on a Road Bike trip to Rowena.




I rented a bike and did my own trip to Moiser (about half way to Rowena). Probably my first time on a bike trip in 30 years or so. Seemed like it was up hill both ways.



The route is on an Historic Highway that has been turned into a recreation bike/walking trail. It winds up the mountain and then back down to Moiser. Beautiful view from the top.


I stoped at the Route 30 "Classic Roadside Refreshments", in Moiser.


Believe it or not it is a combination Porche Dealer and Ice Cream Shop.
This guy "Stephen" restors and sells vintage Porche classics.


He insisted I take his card in case I come across any old Porshes which
he might be able to purchase. Apparently he offers a finding fee.

The ice cream was very good, and gave me the energy for the climbe home.

When I got back to the House, Cam came running in to say that a guy named Dave had called. Dave had apparently found Brads rig off to the side of the highway. Some fisherman must have dragged it off the rocks and up the the highway where it would be spotted.
The sail and board were pretty much wrecked, but the mast and boom seem OK.

Andreas and Brad had spent the day re-outfitting Brad - so he will have equipment to sail the rest of the week.

Later in the day, Kent, Ross, Misha, and Mike went Kiting at Kite Beach.
I stopped by the event site to watch the kiting and ended up running into Dale Cook, who was sailing his formula rig.

I went up to the Hatchery to see if there was any wind, and ended up sailing my 6.6 on the Free xxx board.

There was only one other guy on the water. I sailed for just under an hour - powered most of the time. There was some nice swell near shore to ride. It was weird being the only one out. It was almost dark by the time I derigged and got back to the house.


This parking lot is usually jammed. I was the only one there...

The gang had a big party at Three Rivers to celebrate the return of Brads rig. Dave was invited along. He turns out to be a retired Bike shop owner, so had much in common with Moritz, Ross, and the other bike nuts. Good Guy...

After the "Party", and much wine... and in the dark... Misha, Andreas, and Ross decided it was time to go long boarding. They walked up to walmart (to much to drink to drive)... and then boarded all the way down. 30mph plus - slaloming around vehicles ect. Andreas - surf style with a beer in one hand to keep his balance.......

All in all it was a pretty good - multi sport day. Looks like big wind Wednesday.
