spring run on the San Juan

Wow, has it really been almost a year since I've posted here? I swear I was going to write up our Vermont bike trip last September (there was a draft here - one whole paragraph) but I never got that round tuit, so...here I am. (If you want to see some random photos from Vermont, no names or captions [sorry], they are here in a Flickr album.)

Anyway! This is not going to be the full monty, just a few highlights. Britt and I ended up bailing on our usual White Rim bike trip because he was still recovering from having a knee replacement in mid-February, and I had been having back problems for some time which didn't play well with bumpy riding. Our friends who put this trip together each year also had a San Juan river trip planned at the end of May/beginning of June, but had only space on the permit for 5; at the last minute, they checked and found out there had been a cancellation and they could invite more people, so, whee, we got to go!
