Just Missed Winter Park Mountain Biking
Sunday, September 2nd, 2007
I’m a little bummed. I’ve been doing the mountain biking thing off and on for a while. I’m not real hard core; but, I really enjoy technical terrain that’s right at the edge of my ability. I’ve never ridden a downhill run. In fact, back in Texas we call it off road biking instead of mountain biking - because we lack mountains.
One of the items on my “to-do” list was a day at Winter Park on my full suspension. I planned on going out there this weekend, but I had company fly in from Texas and decided to give a tour instead. Interestingly enough, the tour ended by taking the road back through WP, so we swung by to check it out. It looks completely different during the summer! It looked like so much fun taking a lift up and then riding a bike down. So why am I bummed? Because tomorrow is the last day and I have to have my friend back at the airport at 2:00pm - hours in the opposite direction from WP.
I didn’t think twice about moving my riding plans from this weekend until next. I guess I should have checked closing dates! Still, the fact that the summer activities are closing means one thing - winter activities are on the way!
