riding in crested butte

Last weekend we rented a condo in Crested Butte with some friends. Drew went on six mountain bike rides in two days. I went on two mountain bike rides in two days, and slept in and relaxed while he was out on his other rides. We drank Session beer, had the town's best lattes, ate delicious pizza, listened to Band of Horses and Phish, and generally chilled out in the mountain air.


There are some of the mountains. Big, snowy, beautiful. That orange jersey is my favorite. Those shorts are padded.


We also rode through lots of lush aspen groves. I was nervous when riding in between trees that were close together. But I didn't have to get off my bike and walk too often...


This was the first time that I started to think of mountain biking as a real life-long sport, instead of being freaked out and thinking I was going to die the whole time. It was fun. And, obviously, the scenery was incredible.

In a couple of weeks, we'll be doing the same thing up in Steamboat Springs!
