One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. I mysteriously avoided a crash with a field of rocks while bike riding down Big Cottonwood Canyon. Coming down, going 40+ mph, I somehow swerved through 5 or six huge rocks...spidey sense ftw!

2. How beautiful Iowa can actually be. I was dumbfounded by the summer colors this last summer. After growing up there my whole life, a trip back this last summer left me amazed at the colors. To contrast, the same state in the winter is as dreary as can be!

3. Finishing a 16 mile bike ride up Big Cottonwood canyon in SLC, UT. Greatest feeling ever for some reason. The ride down was #1.
