Somehow I have managed to replace almost my whole bike since the beginning of the summer. I did not start out to have a new bike but circumstances conspired against me to break way to many bike parts in my many adventures this summer.
As a culmination to year of bike breaking Todd, Jamie and I went out to Buena Vista to bike part of the Colorado trail and camp. The day started a little late but the ride was great the air was crisp like it supposed to be on a perfect fall day and we were riding single track that twisted through the aspens at the base of Mt. Princeton. I was following Todd pretty closely down the trail and all of a sudden he goes off a nice kicker and it looks great till he starts riding on his front wheel and then the wheel slips off the trail and he is on his back on a log. It's quiet for just a second and then Todd is running around like a maniac cursing and hitting trees and then he somehow ends up face down in the dirt.
Needless to say Todd did not bike on Sunday, or probably for the next couple weeks. As opportunity would have it my Aunt and Uncle live in Breckenridge and love to have people over so we stopped in there to give Todd a chance to rest and recuperate (which didn't really happen). Then we went on to the peaks trail which is a blast this time of year. The weather was perfect and Jamie's wreck happened when she got the brakes confused (We have been taking her on all these pretty hardcore rides and the peaks trail was only her 5th time biking.) Which of course meant that she ended up on her ass, but hey I think she might have still had fun go over to http://off-and-running.blogspot.com and you may find out a little bit more about how she sees the wreck. She recovered nicely by the end of the trail and all of a sudden was going off 1.5ft. steps which was totally unexpected after a wreck because everyone is supposed to be more tentative after a wreck right????
If you guys get the chance you need to go check out the aspens with in the next week and 1/2 cause it looks like winter is coming early this year.
Sorry for no pics hopefully the will come later when I get them from Todd an Jamie.
