Apparently we have all been crazy busy all summer because we have YET to make it back down to Bend, Oregon for delicious food and epic mountain biking. Well, Jason and I have a 4 day weekend and Jessica and Cam have a 3 day weekend, so why not? We booked a little condo unit at the Seventh Mountain Resort.  None of us realized that the place was actually AT a resort although that seems pretty obvious in hindsight.  The place had pools, games, a nice lounge, and horseback riding right from the parking lot. Our unit backed up to the Deschutes river trails.  We just might go back there again!

Unfortunately, I crashed my bike pretty good like one mile into the first trail of the trip. Hurt so bad I had to scooter my way back and couldn’t even pedal. It was pretty pathetic. So I spent the rest of the trip unintentionally relaxing. I can’t actually even complain about that. Jessica brought her espresso machine so I got some blogging done while drinking nonstop lattes. That still sounds like a damn good vacation! 😉

Now apparently I whined around enough about the horses and how I missed them and I love horses blahblahblah that Jason forced me to sign up for a trail ride just so I would shut up about it. 😉 (my technique works!)
