another winter weekend

After skiing quite a bit last week I decided to get back on the bike. Saturday I rode up to PC and meet up with prime rib, free sager, calves thomas, engaged nick, and rad ross for some snow trail shredding. Up parleys I felt good and wanted to up the tempo but had to keep reminding myself to save something for the trails. 3 hours later we had burned up all round valley and jeremy had to offer and finished up in a blizzard. 4.5 hours on the MTB with friends in the mountains, this is why I am a cyclist.

Full on crown burger movie date with rosie capped off another killer Saturday.

Today after church I meet up with Zach one of the PM&R residents at the VA/university and went up to Daniels summit to ski the 40k loop up onto strawberry ridge. Zack is from Duluth and has skiing in his blood, We had a great time despite the soft track. Hardly a soul around and views in every direction. 3+ hour ski, this is why I like winter.
