Just dropped my buddy Paul off at the airport, and with it, another epic adventure fades into memory. As always, saying goodbye to a good trip stings a bit. But hey, life keeps rollin’, and the mountain bike season is right around the corner – the only thing that comes close to matching the pure joy of shredding trails with my East Coast brother.
Speaking of shredding, yesterday we conquered Ward Mountain, a beast of a peak topping out at just over 9,000 feet. And guess what? I got the glorious (and slightly exhausting) privilege of breaking trail the whole way up. Talk about a leg burner! But the summit crew, myself at 3:47, Paul a cool ten minutes behind, and Josh bringing up the rear ten minutes later, made the struggle totally worth it. Hands down the best day of the entire vacation.
Now, it’s time to trade in the farewell hugs for some serious dirt therapy. The upcoming mountain bike season is calling, and I gotta be ready to crush those trails. Here’s to goodbyes that pave the way for new adventures, and to pushing our limits on two wheels. Until next time, Ward Mountain!
On this day in history, let’s take a delightful journey through time
