From there we headed back to Escondido for a few more days of glorious weather and rides. Then it was Easter and time to head back to the great white north. That's about it for ketchups.

Ketchup #4
So, after Visalia, which is not worth reporting about, we headed up to the big trees in Sequoia National Park. Chris decided to ride in that direction and we met him up at the top of Rocky Hill. we stopped in Exeter for bit on the way. Here's the three of us waiting for Chris to ride by.
Then I let Jadie have a go at the steering wheel
Looks like she liked it, maybe she'll be a driver someday too
So, we were on our way, here's a pic of Chris on the way up. Trinity didn't want to stop cause the edge of the road just fell away to below. She was relieved when we continued driving.
The trees were amazing, here's the three of us girls hanging near a giant tree
Here's Chris and Trinity in front of the tree we mistakenly thought was the biggest on the planet, the General Sherman, but we were wrong
Here's Trinity near another big one but it's still not the General. This one looks almost as big as our house, but not quite
Okay, this is the General Sherman. It's massive! You can just see Trinity and I (with jade in the carrier). Trinity is being a tree hugger...
On the way down we stopped at tunnel rock for a photo op. The road used to go through here. Nowadays there are vehicles that wouldn't fit under there so the road has been re-routed around. I don't understand why any large vehicle that wouldn't fit under there has any business going up that mountain!
We had a lot of fun that day. I was cold for most of it as you can see there was plenty of snow up there. I only had my KEEN sandals too. I got cold feet. Trinity loved it of course being only 8 yrs old and crazy.

Wow! Looks like you guys had a great time in Cali. Belgium and Holland look nice too except it looks a wee bit colder.
Chris and I haven't been able to get together for a ride yet although we have tried. Hockey and bad weather keep interfering. We have talked for a bit but he's been busy with Jade when we've talked.
By the way someday if you're riding through Jerseyville you may see Jennifer washing the outside of the house, dusting it just doesn't cut it for her.
Nick will be helping Mr. K with the Sprockids at P-A this year; he's going to have to work this time.
Good luck to you and your team mates in Fleche. See you on the podium?
