My hubbie turns 50 today!! Hard to believe in some ways - we have celebrated 27 of his birthdays together (one before we were married). But this one has been fun - it started last week and will probably continue for another few weeks!

Back in February, Marc decided he wanted to spend his 50th mountain biking, a hobby he has been working on for about 20 years. He contacted about 1/2 dozen of the guys he has ridden with for all those years, and invited them (and their spouses) to a weekend in Crested Butte - a place held in high esteem by mountain bikers everywhere (the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame is even located there!).  So, we rented an entire bed and breakfast to stay together, and met up on Friday with the idea of riding for 3 straight days. (okay, some people were riding…some where sleeping, some were shopping).

There was a ride on Friday afternoon, then brats and hamburgers and some of the funniest biking stories I have ever heard!  On Saturday, everyone was treated to a great breakfast at the Elizabeth Anne Bed & Breakfast, and then they were off to ride again.

About lunch time they all showed back up, being chased by a nasty mountain afternoon shower. So we all went downtown and had lunch, walked in the rain a bit, took a tour of our office there. We napped and sat around until dinner, when we had a fabulous dinner at the Timberline Restaurant.

I had gotten a MASSIVE “death by chocolate” cake from one of the local restaurants in Crested Butte, and we all had cake until we didn’t want to see it ever again!

Sunday, we all went our separate ways, but several did get in some more biking before heading back home. It was a great weekend, lots and lots of laughing, lying and telling true stories that were just too bizzare to be believed.

So, happy big 50, my love!!! Hope there are lots more to come!  In July, we will be meeting up with all the kids and celebrating once again!
