Summit County Mtn Biking

Kristi and I ripped up the singletrack of Summit County this past weekend. Schön Wetter und Schön Zeit!

Getting back to the woods was a nice change from the road. There is so much beauty in Colorado. I kept telling Kristi how great it is to be here. Company was also pretty much muy bueno as well =)

Friday evening got rained out from cooking so we hit the local establishment that I seem to go to every time I am up in the mountains, The Dam Brewery. Of course I went with the Tatanka Burger but settled for a Hefeweizen. It was good but lacked what I remember tasting just a week ago. Kristi went with a Quesadilla, pronounced Kay-sah-dilah. It was definitely the largest and most developed Quesadillas I have ever witnessed. Tasted so as well.

Saturday morning we awoke to 37º which in Cº is about 2-3º so pretty friggin cold. We were hungry but our fingers weren't working well and the water was taking quite a long time to heat. But we persevered despite the hardships and nourished ourselves to prepare for the über awesome ride Kristi had planned. We took on the Aquaduct trail which provided lots of killer singletrack and descending ops. Kristi threw down pretty hard, and I was muy impressed with her sweet mtn biking skills. The altitude of 9400-10,800' was quite a change for me. On Sunday we did the Colorado Trail which is a trail going from Denver to Durango. We did a sweet loop on it, 20+mi, 3.5hrs. Pretty difficult climb up as one portion was 2mi in length and topped out at 11,100'. The descending was most excellent. It was a muy fantastic time together. Looking forward to the next one.
