We got out early this morning and drove to Winter Park. It was about a 1.5 hour drive through the mountains. We rented bikes from Epic Mountain Sports. The guys were super nice and very helpful. Giving us a great route for today (actually a couple) and answering all my questions.

We rode out taking Creekside, but made a wrong turn somewhere and ended up on Flume. When we popped out, I thought we were on Creekside and furthered our wrong turnedness. We rode a dirt rode to Iko. Creekside was nice and easy, Flume was uphill, but still ridable! The dirt road was horrible. All uphill and never ending!! Iko was the reward for that. It was two miles of downhill fun!! But this was also about the time we heard thunder! ⚡We took the Chainsaw trail out, I think it was fun, but I was super focused getting off the mountain before those really black clouds got to us! ⛈️🌩️⛈️

We made it back to the truck (our rental) just as it started to rain. I had packed a lunch for the trail, but didn't get to use it because of the weather. We sat in the truck and ate it as the rain just poured down! ⛈️

We called and the hotel has our room ready so we made our way over there. After cleaning up, we went to Hideaway Brewing where we had a flight of some really good beers. We walked around town and shopped before heading to the Mountain Bistro for dinner: gyros. Then we got some ice cream and went back to the hotel. It was pouring again and Gary left his coat in the room. So we just went in and got ready for our adventure tomorrow!もっと詳しく
