Well, it has taken me a few days to get myself back together after the long weekend. I spent some time in Crested Butte CO mountain biking with good friends. There was great company, riding, good food, amazing scenery and some drinking. There is always something cleansing for me when it comes to the mountain bike. Something magical in the combination of effort, meditation and pure focus. It always puts a big stinkin grin on my face. The photos I’ve taken are here. I guess the kicker on this weekend was in the last minutes of our ride on monday. On our way back to the trailhead we encountered a little cutie hiking with her guitar. I asked “going to do some strumming?” and she answered that she was done, on her way home. Someone else asked if she’d play for us, which she did. Don’t get me wrong, while the riding was great (OK so I was hurting BAD), I’ve never finished a ride to my own personal concert. Such a treat!

So my friend Jeff (J-diddy) rolls into town tomorrow and I’m looking forward to the visit.
