Sierra Hotel Echo Papa

Yesterday was really nice weather. After class i went on a 2hr cross ride with Shep.


The weather was warm and clear and being on dirt instead of pavement was a nice change in scenery.


Now shep took me on some trails that were just plain wierd. We started down in a valley and somehow rode higher than the valley, however the road we took to get higher than the valley was going the same directions as the water, which last time i checked flows downstream, not up...


This is a view from the top, however we started down in the valley....The whole way up/down? felt downhill but we were getting higher! WTF i was so confused.

After crossing the highway at the top, we found ourselves on smooth singletrack covered in mud mixed with gofer and cow poop...Fun!


But after the mud we found ourselves in winds equivelent to those measured in Park City, you know, the moch 5 winds that force you to lean as you ride.




Today is rediculously warm for Colorado, not to mention its December 15th! i rode to class in shorts and a t shirt! What is this world coming to? Anyway Classes are over with and finals are peaking their ugly head around the corner. The next week will be sleeping, eating, studying and riding...wish me luck.
