Rocky Mountain High

Jeanie and I just got home from a week spent out in Breckenridge, Co with the Kicklighters. We had planning this trip as an anniversary present to ourselves for about a year and it finally came around. Funny thing is, both of us forgot about our anniversary until my mom sent us a card. Anyway, here are some pretty cool pics and a summary of our time...This may get long.

Wednesday we flew out of Nashville and landed in Denver. We had some time to kill before the Kick's got into town so we picked up the rental and headed into the city. Completely by mistake, we stumbled upon the Stranahan's Whisky Distillery and went in for the tour. It was a VERY neat little operation, and we picked up a surprise for one of our brown liquor loving compadres (We'll get that to you as soon as possible). Looking at the clock, we hightailed it back to the airport, picked up the Stankers, and headed for the mountains.

We got to the condo, got settled in, and decided to go have a looksy around town. First spot we hit was the bike shop to pick up our rental bikes for the week. I had signed up for the Breck 100 and for some reason thought renting a full sup 26er was a good idea when I am used to riding a fully rigid 29er single speed.

What the hell is that??

And these???

Anyway, we finshed up the day with some $2 pints at the Breckenridge Brewerey (a place we became very familiar with) and called it a day.

Thursday and Friday we fit in a little riding. We managed to find some great trails and had a blast.

A great two days of riding and hanging out with friends. We also managed to make it to Vail for some sight seeing which turned out to be a blast. More to come...
