Of course we have lots of other pictures and we'll do a write up on our website.

Wow. I love the mountains in summer. You've given me a serious hankering to go back!

I wish I lived around mountains
I did at one time but, did not find my love of cycling until well after I moved.

Wow. Just wow. You and Thom take the best vacations.

We had a professional photographer along on a couple of the days.

He got some awesome shots of Thom, who never gets photographed.

No we didn't go with Western Spirit, although Mark Sevenoff , co owners of WS was there as the instructor. He was fabulous! My whole goal for the trip was to get over my fear of exposure (caused by falling down a cliff in 2007!) and to get trust back in my skills. The trails got more exposure each day and I came away from the trip really loving mountain biking again and wanting to get a new bike!
It took us TWO days to fly home though and our luggage didn't make it. Next time I think we'll drive.

Yep, I think so too. Even with the flight delay, I am still flying high over the trip and how good riding felt. Originally Posted by SheFly
