And that is because, lo and behold, the flowers are up…
Never in my time living in Park City have I seen such a late summer, such a large snowpack, or the trails this far behind.
Besides working on getting peoples bikes built up and forks serviced, I actually rode this weekend. Friday was a dirt flavored day. Flying dog was full of wet spots…and people. Good to see people out there, little hard for me because I could spend all day out there shooting the shit…if I had all day. Oh well, nice day for a ride.
Speaking of dirt…the Dirtburger happened. I know its late to post…but hey, its in IA….and those of you in MN already knew about it….so fuck off.
Next year that sucker will be in the crosshairs…because I most likely will not be doing RAGBRAI three years in a row…unless I win the lottery and hire two more people at the office/shop. You pick the odds.
Saturday was a lovely day to visit one of my favorite places. Wolf Creek Pass. The snow was very Gavia…to say the least.
Sunday brought another great day of riding….this time on the touring bike….tackling the 15% short grades and gravel of Silver Creek. One of these weekends I”m going to see if those backroads can get me to Tollgate.
Alright, prepare your livers….
Should be a blast….with the training diet/etc I”ve been sticking to, my staff will be two cans high while I’m asleep on the couch.
NOTE: Trailside party to celebrate the opening of the bike park. SATURDAY, 11-5. DWC tent and Bon Scot bar 2-5.
