Madden's 2006

No, I'm not referring to the latest football video game. We headed up to Madden's on Friday - the trip up sucked. There was some kind of accident involving a semi truck on the north part of 94, the traffic was horrible.

What sucked even more, the accident didn't even look that bad. There were more cop cars then accident vehicles blocking most of the road. Anyway, we made it in time for dinner so I guess I shouldn't complain. Our room view was awesome once again, and the weather was perfect all weekend.

Saturday was my big bike ride, the main thing I was looking forward to for the whole weekend. It was just awesome, take a look at these pictures. The trail was so smooth and straight, the weather was perfect. I will definitely be going back to this trail in the future - maybe not this year, but at some point. I did 32 miles in 2 hours of biking!! That's raw time, the cyclometer only measures time actually spent biking. The trip probably took closer to 2 and half hours with breaks for taking pictures and the longer 5-10 minute break I took at the half way point.

The rest of Saturday was okay, a nice dinner and comedian / magician. After that was a casino theme night that was pretty generous with the payouts. I turned $5000 into $200,000 in just under 2 hours, heh. Then you could buy raffle tickets for $10,000 a piece for prizes. I didn't win anything, which was lame. Some people won multiple times, because no one setup any rules or said anything like only 1 prize per person. Oh well - not everything is perfect.

This weekend is the big Anderson Labor Day get together, so we will be busy getting ready for that. I'm going to try and find some more time to post again later this week.
