Me and our friend Amy talked Beckie into this 7 miles and 2200 vf bit of flagstafickry. Bonus that Noel and Amy again had us as guests for a weekend out of Hell.

Look! Riding at noon! Sunset TH to the AZT->Dogfood->Schultz.   tinyShredder wants to lead, tinyShredder doesn’t stop, tinyShredder hit the double at the bottom of Schultz, tinyShredder snapped her first derailleur…I’m so proud!

this transpired while Noel and I hammered back up Schultz to get the cars. but really, with these kids I’m no longer impressed.

up early the next morning for the ladies to run up a big hill.

Amy joined by Aran and Gianna

see those dots up the hill? neither can i. I am a responsible parent, i let my wife go up with them.

Having shuttled up to the base of a ski resort, with two tired potential drivers, Noel and I did the only sensible thing and bombed back down.

18 miles, 3000 vf, with a welcome 45 minute climb in the middle. Aspen and pines and singletrack and hero-dirt.
