Today Dan and I decided to go on a all-out Epic Bike Ride. So we ended up doing a section of the Colorado Trail out of Copper Mtn ski resort. When we first started the ride we rode through a mixture of snow and frost. In this pic this is one of many bridges we had to cross. Midway into the ride was the highest point in elevaton we reached. The point way at Kokomo Pass and just above 12,000ft, and the views were killer. Our ride ended up taking us six hours at just 39 miles. FYI for the peps who know the area. We started at base of Copper CT trail up pass Janets Cabin, Traversing Elk Ridge to Kokomo Pass, to Camp Hale, North on Rt 24 to Red Cliff Village, final climb up Shrine Pass to top of Vail Pass, ending back down to Copper Village. Epic proportion!!!!!!!!!

After a great night of partying with friends in Vail Village I woke up early this morning and went Bouldering in Wolcott. The sun and the warmth felt good on the body, factoring the last few days in Colorado had been cold and wet. After the climb Tasha and I went Mountain biking in Eagle Colorado. The single track was the best.

After a long day of hiking Tiziana and I went up the Gondola for the last day of the Friday afternoon Club up at Eagle Nest.
Today was my day off and Len, Megan, and I left for all of our first 14er on Quandary Mtn. The hike it's self was really short but really steep. The last part of the hike was like stair Master with no O2. Once we all got to the top the views were so unreal. Jagged Mtn tops 360 with sweet blue skys on top.

This past Tuesday Dan Drove to Boulder with a Guest to Boulder to do a favor. And I drove another guest to Dever International to later pickup Dan in Boulder. We later played Disc golf in a town called Arvada, finding out the temperatures were in the Mind 90's. After 18 holes we were both payed out. We we got back to Vail the temperatures were atleast 20 degrees cooler. So I later took Tasha into town to play with her favorite friends Isis and Lily. The other black dog in this picture was some punk tag-along.
Having fun
