the ms ride in logan has officially become a tradition for us--this is the third year we've participated. we made the 2-hour drive friday night after david got off work. pace did ok until the last 30 miles. he'd had enough by brigham city, so going through the canyon to logan was a little hard on him. at home, he's normally in bed between 7-730. last time we went camping he was ready for bed between 8-830. this time, he was so wired with being in a new place that he didn't nod off until 1030! and then still up at his normal 530/6am! after everyone took off for the ride, he and i went back to the tent for a little nap.
team ups:
david did the 75 miles this year instead of his normal 100. it's been such a cold and wet spring that he hasn't been on the bike that much, so 75 miles was plenty!
while david and team ups were riding, pace and i checked out the willow park "petting zoo". i looked up free things to do before going to logan, and this was one of them. it ended up being right next to the campgrounds, so pace and i just walked on over. it was advertised as free on their website, but had a box to collect the charge at the entrance. i didn't pay, truth be told...no one was around, and i had gone there on the premise of a fun free activity. it was also advertised as a petting zoo, but it was really a "traditional" zoo. they had an albino porcupine, a tortoise, and a bobcat. the rest were birds, from sparrows to macaws, swans, and even a bald eagle. it was cute, but pace paid more attention to the other kids there. the one thing that grabbed his attention was the tortoise. it mosied on over to have a look at pace, and pace actually looked right back!

That's a long ride, no matter how you look at it!
Once I took you and Christian to the zoo in Waco TX and we went down the path where all the big cats were located and I sneezed the whole time!
Was Pace allergic to anything in the zoo?
