Jim....the scrimmages sure have put things in perspective for a few of the more critical, discontented parents. ?You know the type -- push their kids hard to perform, berate them when they make mistakes, shout and scowl and rant, gripe at the coaches. ?Despicable bunch. ?Not a whisper of positive praise from them. ?But, once they got on the pitch with their daughters, and had the latter run circles around them and otherwise thoroughly thrash and outrun them for 60 minutes straight without even breaking a sweat.....well, the rabble shut up pretty fast. ?Sweet!!! ?Luckily, that group of parents is a small minority on our team -- the rest "get it" and just want their kids to have fun, enjoy a great sport and team camaraderie. ?

Hey, Ron....great to hear that your bike is working well for you finally.  Hope you get a chance to ride it out at Steamboat soon.  Those pics from the aspen groves looked like pure paradise......gonna snap some more this year?
