Title: Pics from our California Trip!
Post by: Bryancd on September 06, 2009, 04:50:23 PM
Here are some of the pics from our trip to Sonoma County and Lake Tahoe!
First we have the family at the Golden Gate...with the Golden's!
Then my us with my Aunt and Uncle in Windsor, CA. Great family and great homemade wine!
Next is Jamie's race at the LunaBar Womens Triathlon...next to an abandoned Nuke plant! Jamie wasn't happy...but I told her the wetsuit would protect her! She survived the swim, went on to the bike and run and won her age group! Nice podium shot. :)

Next we went to our house in Lake Tahoe!
First we have the living room and then our incredible view!
Next we took a trip up to Squaw Peak, home for the 1960 Winter Olympics for a hike.
I also got into the wet suit for a few swims in the lake!

...and of course everyday the dogs got into the action...either swimming in the Lake or taking a ride in a Kayak!

Looks amazing.  Can you tell us a little about the bike she rode in the competition?

That's my wife's Quintana Roo Dulce. It's a women's specific time trial bike, all carbon fiber frame with Shimano components, aero bars, and Zipp carbon Fiber deep rim wheels. In triathlon racing, this is how we ride, super aggressive as usually the courses are short and flat and fast. Her ride at this race was 20 miles, preceded by a 750M swim and followed by a 4 mile run.

We actually PLAN our vacations around the dogs! If we go, they go as long as we don't have to fly.

Nice!  Nothing like my all steel touring bike...weighing in around 75lbs when loaded.  :)  More of a plough-horse next to your wife's thorough-bred!
