Nephew Nathan and friend Flavia visited us from California, and Ben led us on a killer ride: straight up “Lord have mercy!” hill, and (as if that wasn’t enough), then straight up to “Pope Sweet Jesus!” summit. We then rode home and recuperated. Then Nathan, Flavia, and I rode up Blacksmith Fork canyon, which is really a lovely ride. They have each won the Calfornia Cup, so I had a teensy bit of diffuclty keeping up. But they were kind and patient, and we had a great time.
