Mountain biking - spring 2012

Every year in May and October we try to sneak away for a mountain bike weekend.  This May ended up in Colorado instead of Utah, like usual.   We headed out to Fruita for the weekend!

Loading up the Jetta with Tucker's mountain bike and my tri bike....
It started out innocently enough... and then the snow started.  And we were stopped in traffic.  And then Vail Pass closed due to conditions and accidents.  A quick dinner in Frisco while it kept snowing....

We finally got to Grand Junction about 11pm and checked in - only to upgraded to a suite!  It was karoake night and busy, busy, busy.  We headed out too early the next morning and got the trailhead about 30 min before the meeting time with friends so we took photos. :)
  I posed with Tucker's bike but mine is waiting on my car.  I dropped him and headed into town for a quick ride on the road.  With the new knee parts I cannot risk a fall at this point and that is a lot less likely on the road.

That evening we had a delicious BBQ dinner with friend's of Elizabeth who hosted at their home.  It was great food, company and fun!  The next day we did it all again!  Except we ended up with THREE (3) bikes on the way home!  We volunteered to get Greg home in time for Mother's Day dinner....  :)

 


Great weekend and always a ton of fun with this crew!   Next weekend?  Tucker goes to Durango and I go to Texas for Ironman Texas!!!
