Utah

Dave says: When winter break arrived, it was time for a bike trip. The crew was Keith from Oregon and Aleks and Jon from Tucson. I picked Keith up from the airport, we grabbed some food, and we drove straight to the trail head where Aleks and Jon were already waiting even though it was an hour early. We shuttled National which is a fun ride and a long shuttle before heading to Sedona in the evening. Then, we had two monster days riding all of our favorite hard trails like Hangover, Hiline, and Hogs. We're riding pretty much everything on Hangover these days and it is legendary. Who would have thought to build a trail hundreds of feet up on a sandstone spire.

When the trip was over, it was time to drive up to Utah to pick up Alisha and Skye. I arrived just in time for a winter storm and Skye got her first taste of snow. However, a day later we were ready to flee to Vegas for some (slightly) warmer weather. We brought along Mandy, Shane, Brody, and Elsie for two days of adventure that included the children's museum, scrambling around at red rocks state park, lunch at a western ranch, a long walk on the strip, and the hot tub in the evening. Brody said it was the best day ever so I guess it was pretty fun.
