High Altitude Training


OK it was just a mountain bike trip to Brian Head but being at 10,000 feet is definitely different than riding in Vegas.


We were joined by the Stubbs and the Hanson's (aka Team Sabrosa Cycles). We rode the ORIGINAL Brain Head trail "Dark Hollow," little did we know that the trail had been changed. After a couple of miles down hill we realized that we were on a trail that hadn't been ridden for many moons. It actually turned pretty epic, along with a ton of fallen trees there must have been a huge mud slide that wiped out a good portion of the trail. On top of the trail not being in tip top shape Anthony was having a tough weekend. Not only did he burn a hole in his lung on the first climb, but he damn near ripped his derailleur off his bike. Oh yeah and he also had two gnarly wrecks. I started feeling sorry for his new bike, this was only the second outing for the new pony.




We had great food and the ladies must have played 50 games of Mexican Dominoes. Another good weekend; unfortunately I think it'll be the last without snow at Brian Head.

Sounds like Kev's experiences! I swear for a while they were always taking someone in for stitches. Sadly it was always the "new guy" they invited!!! Lucky for me.
If we end up going to the cabins for Thanksgiving...and there is no snow you guys should bring your bikes up. Who's year is it for you guys? I swear I haven't seen you since Amanda's wedding!

I'd love to come ride with Kevin but we're going back to the Dirty South for turkey day.

You need to get on the right schedule man! Enjoy your deep fried turkey, oyster stuffing, and collared greens.
