The Ideal Weekend Getaway...

Downhilling, Dirt Jumping, Slalom Turns, a Mountain Cross Track, Great Coffee, and who could forget, Cute Boys!

Which Bike to Ride?? Let's Take 'em All!


I packed up my car with all of my bikes on Friday after work and headed up to Winter Park to ride with Cody and Nate for the weekend. First stop: Petr's pumptrack. So, I get there, and the first thing that I think is, wow, it's got a significant uphill section. Needless to say, it was hard. It was good for practicing cornering and maintaining momentum, though! Then we headed to Cody's house where his mom, Beth, had steak dinner with asparagus and berry pie waiting for us. Ummm, can you say, we were spoiled!

The next morning, I went downhilling with Nate until he had to go to work, which conveniently was the same time that Cody got off of work! Then Cody, Forrest, and I headed up to some land that Forrest's dad owns that they call the Hut. Cody, Forrest, and Skyler have put a ton of man hours in up at the Hut to build a slalom track, a rhythm section, a mountain cross track, and AWESOME dirt jumps!! It doesn't hurt that they have a full time bobcat up there at their disposal to move the dirt around! Petr, the Watts and Lee showed up later in the afternoon, and we rode til 7:00. I was wiped out!

Hard to See Through the Trees, but There is an Awesome MX Track as Well

I Know It's Little, But It's Pretty Big For Me


Sleep Saturday night, wake up Sunday morning and repeat! Coffee stop to say hi to Cody working hard at Rocky Mountain Roastery and then DHing with Nate in the morning, the clock strikes 12:00, Nate goes to work and Cody gets off. We headed back up to the Hut with a little larger of a crew for another awesome afternoon of dirt jumping and doing laps on the DS and MX tracks!
