Summertime, and the livin' is easy!

So today begins Summer vacation 'round these parts. School's officially out for summer! Most years I celebrate with a bike ride and a few drinks with friends, but today brought HS graduation and no trails. Today was bittersweet for me. My "partner in crime" (aka music education in our small rural upstate NY community) retired as of today. Pam has been an amazing co-worker. She gives of herself and shares her passion for music with all of our students everyday, and truly loves teaching. She will be missed by us all!

In addition to these changes for me at school, my little monkey princess graduated UPK and is all set to start Kindergarten (where does the time go?).

I do look forward to a restful summer, and lots of miles on the singletrack, but for today it was all about Pam and the kids and how to get them through the first day of school in September.

Grins and wheelies to you all and I hope to see you on the trails!
