Trent & Lori Come to visit= Broken Bike




We always talk to people in UT who say "when are you coming her.. When .. When??" We always try to remind them that the road works both ways. Trent and Lori come to colorful CO at least 1 if not twice a year! We love it when they visit. The only thing we don't love is when we put the choo choo train on a new Mt Bike and the bike is unfix able after. .. Heres the story: Trent, Denai and Brendon went biking to Lori state park. We went up a Really big hill. trenton actually madi it up just fine. He is in pretty good shape:

Then Came the sketchy part.. We started to get into the more technical part of it and I heard a snap... not just your regular everyday snap.. It was a biggie. Trent had tried to push so hard up a hill that his bruit strength snapped the cassette Heres a Pic of what one is:

While doing this the Chain bent and pulled and broke the derailer then since he could'nt petal on the way down.. trying to hang on he broke the shifter knob and brake lever.. All in all the bike ended up looking like this:

Okay just kidding... I told trenton I knew it was a sacrifice for the bike going into it. Big trenton V.S Mid priced Mt. Bike = picture above. I actually won the bike for free at work for selling more Tea than any other store in CO. I wasn't too bummed plus he Lori and Train took us to Dinner and spoiled us for the rest of the trip. We sure love those two! We have such a good family... Where the Hell did I come from?
The End

Ok. Let me clarify where you came from. It wasn't Hell. End of story.

That sucks about the bike. I'm laughing at that picture of the broken bike, though.

Hooray for a visit from Lori and Trent. They must love you more than us. That or their 8 hour car ride was probably a lot more peaceful than ours would be. Ah well. One of these days we'll get there.
