i've had borrowed possession of a mountain bike for a week now. i have ridden the bike 6 of the last 8 days. i like mountain biking. perhaps more important, the pup loves mountain biking. he gets great exercise and feels a sense of purpose in keeping the group together and safe.
i have barely scratched the surface of exploration of mountain bike trails. there are so many to ride. so many to see. thanks to dyan, yesterday i got to see some of snowbasin's trails. i had always wanted to see that place in the summer. it's a lot different.
but i still recognized most of it.
we rode until we hit the snow line. even got first tracks on the upper part of the trail. we were two happy girls and one happy dog. he loved the snow too. he'd lay in it on his belly with all four legs sprawled out. it was funny. we laughed and smiled a lot. all day.
the view from up high. sometimes life really is perfect. i won't fear perfection.
after the most perfect ride in the most perfect weather i really didn't think there was a possibility of anything getting better. but it did. when we got to dyan's she had a cold 12 pack of ranger IPA! my favorite. you can't get it here. perfection.
this is the next beast i'll be trying out on the trails. with an upgrade of a suspension fork it could be the perfect bike for me. we shall see. so far, i think it has kenai's approval.
