Just when I thought fall might be here after a few 70 and 80 degree days it’s going to be right back up in the 90’s this upcoming week in Denver. I guess summer is here for a little while longer.

Today is the final day of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge and my wife and I are going to walk downtown to watch them. These guys are the worlds best cyclists and they are absolutely amazing. Yesterday I was watching the coverage on TV and on flat surfaces they were averaging at speeds of over 40 MPH. The most impressive stat was that their heart rates are only getting up to around 130 beats per minute.

Anyone doing anything fun this weekend?

  3. Thanks for mentioning us! I believe if everyone truly understood compounding interest they’d start saving immediately.

  4. I didn’t do anything fun at all! I’m pretty lame I think compared to most people. My wife worked 24 hours this weekend so I just took care of the house and wrote a few blog posts.
