Winthrop Thanksgiving...
Cool breeze, fall colours, empty trails, delicious food, great friends, rad mountain biking, cold beer, beautiful house,... I have a lot to be thankful for....
Winthrop is this awesome little tourist town. It has an old cowboy feel to it with lots of fun little shops and cafes.... It is in the middle of nowhere amongst the northern Cascade Mountains... 5 of us travelled down to this little town for the weekend. We met up with a great guy, Chris.
Day 1 consisted of a fun mountain bike loop on smooth single track...my kind of riding! The day began with a huge pancake breakfast and ended with an amazing canadian style thanksgiving dinner, turkey and all.. It was really cool to share our little Canadian tradition with so many internationals... In between we biked, slacklined and I did a little acroyoga. We hung out in the SUN, yes SUN....
Sunday= Starvation Mountain....my kind of day.... again our breakfast did not fail us...we headed out for a long long long climb on our bikes... I managed to find my climbing legs again and loved every moment of the entire climb. The views were fabulous and the terrain unique. The down was great...very flowy, fast and gorgeous. I think we were all riding a high following the ride....
Monday was time to leave but we still managed to sneak in a little ride....
another weekend for the memory bank! love it.
I'm still buzzing after this great weekend. It is difficult for me to concentrate on all that is to be done before my next very big adventure...more to come on that
thanks paul and andrew for taking some fab photos!
live, love, laugh,...DREAM!
