Strawberry Crepes

When faced with a decision of doing yardwork or running errands its amazing what kind of things come up that keep us away from the house. In anticipation of getting my trike next week I still had some things that I needed, so we went to the REI in Sandy. I'd never been to REI before and I thought it to be pretty nice, but maybe a little expensive. I started out by getting the bike carrying rack for the roof of my Tahoe. I filled a shopping cart with all the parts and they had to give me one of the display models. After that, I got some Shimano shoes with SPD clips for the pedals that are being put on my trike. I've never used clipless pedals before, but I hear that it's the only way to go for serious riding. Before we left the store we walked through it to see if there was anything else we wanted. Sonia thought I should get one of the lycra/spandex-type riding jerseys, so I did. We'll see how that goes.

When we left the store it was already 1 o'clock and the kids were starting to get cranky, so we stopped at the Village Inn for lunch. I ended up having my breakfast and blowing all my calories on this one meal. It was good though. Strawberry crepes, hash browns, bacon, and two fried eggs. About 1800 cals I figure, so I made it today's only meal.

After lunch we decided to drive up through Payson Canyon to scout out a potential camping ground for memorial weekend. I also kept my eye out for potential biking roads/trails. We found a nice place after about 30 mins of driving. While the kids went for a walk with Sonia I put the rack and all the parts together. It looks impressive with all the hardware. I need to find a way to remove the factory cross bars off. Maybe a prybar?
