Me First!

by on Dec.22, 2013, under Colorado, Ride Reports

I’m being selfish today.  Why shouldn’t I be first?  I watched eagerly last night as light flakes drifted down. I planned it all.  A dusting just enough to create a virgin run.  I think this is what skiers pray for.  Pretty ironic that I wanted it all for myself on a bike.

Ten minutes into this and I’m thinking that I was mean not to share it.

I could not have picked a better day or time.  The sands of winter change this place so dramatically.

There was some walking involved.  Bits and pieces here and there.  A mile out of sixteen miles.  I think that’s worth it.

It just made the downhills so much more fun!

No way!  No one.  Not a soul.

Maybe I hoped that someone would have tamped things down a little.  Define the trail, maybe?  Then my mind just went into a high octane focus.  A huge smile.  So this is what it’s like to have all your lobes firing at once.  Best tune-up ever!
