Summer Fun & Five-O Fever

Dakota Five-O 2026 Randy Ericksen

Another Spearfish summer in the books. Already back to the school year rhythm and go go go mode. Luckily we got a lot of time playing in the creek and having fun.

The mater bedroom / bathroom addition is coming along. Finished up the plumbing and wired it up, then hung the drywall just before Labor Day.

This year’s Dakota Five-O was another good one. 2nd overall for me and 8th overall for Evie (on a singlespeed). I keep telling myself this is my last year of high level racing, but maybe we’ll do one more before I turn 40 🙂

Enjoy the photos.

Wrapping up AZ

Another Arizona winter is coming to a close. Mattie finished Kindergarten and we wrapped up our last MBAA XC race in Flagstaff last weekend.

Here are some photos from the last school year.

Fall Break with Mattie

Now in Kindy, Mattie had fall break for the first time. As much as I’d wish school just started later and they didn’t have all these breaks and half days, it was a nice chance to get up to Spearfish and enjoy the fall colors and weather.

Evie had to work, so it was just Mattie and I going. My parents met us out there, and my dad and I finished hooking up the Mr. Cool mini-split heat pump.

Enjoy the colorful photos.
