Today was our 11 year wedding anniversary which Cami and I celebrated with a big 4.5 hour ride, followed by a nice dinner on the town. We rode to Bogus Basin Ski Resort and while Cami didn't have the greatest legs (by her own admission) she did a great ride. As we began the ascent to Bogus Basin (15.6 miles and 3,497 feet of elevation gain according to my Suunto T6) I remarked that the climb would be a type of our marriage: Lots of difficult, tough, hard work rewarded by happiness, satisfaction and a great feeling of accomplishment. Having said that, I'm not sure how to interpret the fact that my average heart rate for the climb was a very low 111 bpm. Perhaps being married to Cami is much easier than being married to me? :)
Dinner was at Barbacoa which, for the Utah readers, is NOT related to the restaurants of the same name in Salt Lake City. Filet for me, cooked medium rare, pasta primavera for Cami, with an appetizer of guacamole prepared tableside and a complimentary flan for dessert. Well, for our first dessert. As soon as I get the kids in bed I'll settle down with a generous slice of pie with an equally generous side of ice cream!
Notes:
It isn't easy (at least not for me) to take a picture with my Blackberry of my wife and I kissing after a 3,500 foot climb. Even with the tiny mirror on the back of the phone it required numerous attempts, mainly because Cami kept laughing.
Yes, Cami wore a helmet for the entire ride. She just took it off when we stopped at the top. Me, I was too lazy to remove my sunglasses from my helmet so I just left it on.
My gift to Cami was a PayDay candy bar. Sounds lame I know, but after finishing the climb she was pretty stoked when I pulled it out of my jersey pocket!

Call us and we'll figure out a day that works. I've developed some reasonable skills with our new grill so it would be fun to have a backyard bbq before summer ends!
