We've been mountain biking our summer away also. It's been raining like crazy, but we find a window in the morning or afternoon and head out for a quick spin. On the positive side, the rain has been making for some amazing wildflowers and mushrooms.

Andy and I have been racing in the local mountain bike race series, the Summit Mountain Challenge, and it has been incredibly fun. It's been great to get out and meet more like-minded locals. Everyone in the series feels like family and is encouraging and supportive, even as a newby. I really enjoy participating in the races and look forward to more next year.

We're beginning to get our winter gear in, which means spring items are on sale. Come on in and check out our hot new gear and get outfitted for the snowy season. It's coming soon, there's already frost on the ground at night. Yikes!

The races have all been fun, well attended events with a great after party at the Quandry Grill featuring food and beer specials as well as awards and prize drawings sponsored by yours truly and many other summit county businesses.

You can register for the event here at our physical location on Main St. Breck. or over at the Breckenridge Recreation center or just follow this link. Registration is $15 or $20on race day for competitors 18 and older and registration is free for anyone younger that would like to get out there and hit the trail with us.

Have fun and good luck!!
