Breckenridge USA Pro Cycling Challenge - III

Ryder decided it was time to take a crack at Swan Mountain and the KOM classification. As he took off, he attracted some of the crazies out of the crowd to cheer him on....or traumatize him for life. We were pleased to see that it caused him to accelerate and get away. Taggart wanted no part of it!Shortly after Ryder's accent, we all cheered the breakaway (which included Ivan Basso and Andy Schleck) on at they attacked Swan Mountain.
Next, Ryder and Taggart were excited to cheer on Cadel Evans and Levi Leipheimer.
We had an incredible time in Breckenridge and on Swan Mountain. The boys both already asked when the next bike race is!

Breckenridge USA Pro Cycling Challenge - II

We had an incredible, memorable day up on the mountain.
Ryder & Taggart were exposed to.... well, we don't know how best to describe what it was like on Swan Mountain. This is about as tame as it got near the King of the Mountain (KOM) line.
Ryder wanted to see the course and get a look at the KOM line. It was incredibly beautiful with lots to see.

Breckenridge USA Pro Cycling Challenge - I

The Hutton's and the Russell's headed to Breckenridge, CO for the weekend of cycling festivities around the 2011 Inaugural USA Pro Cycling Challenge.

We headed up to Swan Mountain early in the morning to get a spot and begin our street art....Allez Hincapie! Ryder and Delaney enjoyed coloring the words.

You would have thought it was the Fourth of July.

Ryder's first day of school

Ryder's first day of Pre-K at Louisville Montessori School.

Ryder on Pool Slide

End of Summer

The boys were excited to hit the Lakeshore Athletic Club Pool today. They know Summer is coming to an end....

Ryder was so excited to show Daddy how brave he is in going down the slide on his own. Again, and again, and again.....
Daddy was most excited about how well Ryder is swimming.
Great day in Colorado! Nothing beats relaxing at the pool with family and friends while looking out at the mountains and enjoying the 75 degree temperature.
Unless you are Ryder and Tagg, then kicking and splashing beat that.
