This weekend was great for mountain biking!
- The sun was shining.
- The sky was clear.
- The temperature was not to hot and not to cold.
- I had a great friend to ride with.
- I had my photoshoot for the cover of Bike Magazine.
Perfect!

Then I go and ask one of the lifties if there was more runs on the other side of the chair lift…. “Oh yeah, there is one run. The terrain is different than on this side. Do you like ‘Super G’ (which is a blue run)? Its like that only it has a couple of drops.”
The run was called ‘Smoke Jumper’ and was a double black diamond trail for ‘experts only’. There were many more obstacles and boulders to navigate than any other run I had seen so far.
I think the magazine cover will probably be more like this:





OW OW OW … was it a stunning case of mountain trail rash?
YARD SALE! for that unbelievably awesome gear that you must have.
Love the photos. It reminds me of the man on the “cover of Newsweek”, about 18 years ago! Looks like a great time! Hollie will be baptized Sunday, August 31, in Raleigh. Want to come?
