East Elk Creek

Today we got biking early. After our experience on Sunday we were excited to try the other side of Winter Park! Well, that was misguided. The trail was really rocky and Gary fell a few times! We walked most of Blue Sky, Take D Leap and WTB trails. On Take D Leap, there were boulders that were taller than me that had bridges up them signaling that people were supposed to ride these! Crazy people! But as we were biking, someone did one. And he didn't die! It was kinda of amazing. But we finally got to Razzmatazz Trail. This one was really nice and we had fun on it. But then I was done. And Gary was sick of these trails. So we made our way back to the car. It was tricky because we got into a subdivision and had a hard time getting through. But we did make it back.

Then we were off to Wake N Bacon for brunch. It was really good, but while we were eating, Gary said, "I think we should do Breckenridge today." Since the weather for Thursday and Friday is kind of iffy.

After brunch we were off to more biking. But this time we knew what we were getting into. We made it to the bike shop in time to get bikes for the afternoon. We just had to be back by 5. We rode the same route as we did a few years ago, but one of the trails was changed because houses had been built there. The beginning was a huge climb, but then the fun set in. We got to the end and I was so tired. 20 miles of biking so far, but we had to get back to town. Gary was mad, but we took the easy River Trail back to town. I was so tired I didn't care.

Then it was off to Fairplay to check in and get dinner. We went to Casa Sanchez. It was Taco Tuesday (tacos for $0.99). We got them to go and they were so good!! Time for bed. We're hiking tomorrow!Read more
