Yesterday's ride was more of a grocery run, if a stunningly beautiful one at that. Lower loop trail takes you back into town from Oh Be Joyful CG, maybe 4 miles. Gotta like that ice cream run!
Today was our first real workout- up Strand Hill overlooking town. 5 miles of climbing 1500ft had us all gasping in the rarified air. Made it tho, celebrated topside with gourmet deli sammiches. After that effort I swear I have never tasted the like. ;-)
The entire team really brought it today- lil buddy on his 24" wheels, Shredder on her 7 speed downhill rig. Sweetness topped everyone's effort with not one, not two, but three OTB's on the narrow, fast & swoopy downhill. Popped right up grinning each time having cheated Death once again- she's a gamer that one! :-]
Yes it was indeed a stellar Father's Day for this Dad. A happy one to you all out there!
Check these out~
Happy Father's Day Mike. You're living the life.
ReplyDeleteThx Howard!
DeleteNice! That descent off Strand is always fun. Check out the Dyke Trail for some massive Aspens if you get some time.
ReplyDelete'sup Matt! 401 done, my darlin daughter still dreaming if that aspen descent.
DeleteVery cool. I bet the trip would be worth it just for the scenery, or just for the family time, or just for the trail, much less all three together. Let's see, how could you make it even better? Next time you need to camp next to a river full of trophy, native, cutts, just to make sure you cover ALL the bases of awesomeness. Enjoy yourself.
ReplyDeleteHey Kirk- truer words were never spoken. Mtb? Schweet. Flyfishing? Outstanding. Mtb + flyfishing + cutthroat trout? That's Awesomeness right there. :-)
